Most 2 year olds should know at least 75 to 225 words and be able to speak those 75 to 225 words words pretty good.

However as the 2 year old is learning to talk they may be a bit hard to understand which is normal.

But do your best to try to understand them as it can be very frustrating for the 2 year old to not be understood.

Late 2 year old talkers may only speak 25 words but they can learn more and more and pretty soon you probably won't be able to get them to stop talking.

Some children are also just shy and won't talk much around strangers which is also normal and some children continue to be shy until 8 years old to 10 years old and some children never stop being shy.

Anxiety is also common and so if your child talks good at home but they are shy and quiet around other people there's nothing to worry about.
