Answer #2

Answer #3

Do parents usually avoid those words with R in them?

Answer #4

Totally depends on the family. I’d say the names of brothers and sisters or the names of the families pets will be first after mama and daddy. Or the name of the favorite toy if the family has only one child and no pet. Or if other people (grandparents or friends of the family for example) live in the same house or visit very often, kids will probably learn to say their names or nicknames. After that… every child is different. Kids may say… “Up” (for lift me, I want to be in your arms) or they may learn the name of their favorite food or drink.

Answer #5

Do parents usually avoid words with letter R in them?

Answer #6

No, parents talk normally and babies imitate. The “r” is a little bit difficult to pronounce for some babies. “sh” or “k” sounds can also be difficult. Kids will usually say the word and just say it wrong until they learn to twist their tongue. Some babies for example say “‘oot-ie” when they mean “cookie”. Strangers will wonder what it means, but mom will understand that it’s a cookie.

Answer #7

I don’t think so.

Answer #8

Answer #13

These are some words my niece had first learned: Pup pup, doggie, rose, mom, dad, stine, sh!t, kitty, and up. My niece isnt a very vocal child and my sister has taught her quite a bit of sing language so she uses that more often then speaking. In every household children learn different words depending on how the parents speak and what the child hears.
