Do second kids typically start talking later? I have two separate friends with two kids each. Both their oldest kids learned to talk pretty early, their second in both cases were much later.
- zrail 8y agoMy anecdata agrees. My brother in law's first two kids were born 11 months apart so their developmental stages were pretty synced up, but their third definitely took a lot longer to start talking. His older brothers just spoke for him and understood what he wanted without him having to speak, so he didn't.
- Apofis 8y agoInteresting that kids could still understand baby gesturing/talk.
- neves 8y agoMine was the opposite. I was impressed how early my second son started to make complete sentences.
- jarrettch 8y agoMy daughter learned to talk a lot earlier than her older sister who is a year older, also learned to walk earlier too. Anecdotal, obviously, but part of me thinks she was trying to "keep up."
