This has to be tied to Dim attempts to socialize early childhood care — can’t have standards to meet.
Btw, it doesn’t matter, anyway, between 20 or 50 or 100 words. A kid whose parents only say “shut up” or “not now” will have the vocabulary of a seven year old at age 15.
In addition to father-less households, a huge problem with the poor urban black community is the absence of non-electronic stimulus for children. And it’s only getting worse with gaming taking over from television.
It’s not poverty. It’s parenting.
Why should anyone care about the CDC’s standards for children’s language development?
Doesn’t “CDC” stand for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?
Go control some diseases, losers.
The CDC decided losing 6 months of development is normal for 18 month old kids.
Just...decided.
This is all crapolla. All these so called “guidelines” from an organization that determines medicine based on political ideology.
These idiots have no clue about the real world. My wife’s cousin would not speak at all until he was 4. He retired a college professor. My daughter basically had nothing to say until she was almost 2. She understood a hellofa lot. Just had nothing to say about it. College at 16, deans list from first semester on.
People who have raised children know this type of development is all over the board. By the time they are a few years older, most of them are at the same place. Kids DO NOT progress at the same rate, yet usually get to the same place at the same time.
Never rely on political pin heads for any child upbringing advice. They are worse than worthless.
Nothing to see, here, ping.
Just more CDC excuses.
IBTFR$$
This won’t change that they have stifled the cognitive development of millions of children especially those children 6 and under.
Every damn govt agency does something other than what they are supposed to do. And we let them.
Among humans or primates?
Had to ask....
That's utterly preposterous. I know there are kids who don't speak that many words that 30 months, but even at one year a child usually understands a very large number of words.
Wonder if this is part of Klaus Scwab’s “The Great Reset”?
When my son was about two years old we were riding in the car with him behind us in his official government certified seat. He was babbling continuously, then we realized he was reciting a Thomas The Tank Engine episode word for word.
A retired Pre-K teacher that I know is now subbing to keep busy and make extra dough. She says that there is a huge increase in the number of children entering school with severe speech defects. And many of their parents do not want to take advantage of the free speech therapy in the schools - they see no problem with how their child speaks. “We can understand him - what’s the problem?”
“Now children should know ~50 words at 30mo [...] as a result of various COVID protocols, raging from “virtual learning” environments to forcing children to wear face masks.”
30-month-olds are doing virtual learning and being forced to wear masks?
I'll bet she's a lot different now!
LOL
Grey parrots have a LARGE vocabulary!
