Isn’t the average knowing 50-100 words by 18 months?
Sorry this popped up on the main feed and it’s totally different than what we were taught years ago.
Yeah looking it up 20 seems to be the baseline for average, it's normal to see 40-50, and 100 is very high but not unseen.
My partner and I tried to compile a list and it was more than 50 words.
It is not to say I'm trying to brag about how smart my kid is. I wanted to provide context on his vocabulary and his primordial sense of grammar and use that to try to understand how he sees the world.
You shouldn't apologize, you were the only person in this thread who bothered to actually reply with some value instead of just being an asshole, so thanks.
