Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By 24 months of age, the toddler talks in two- to three-word sentences and averages two words per response. At this age, the toddler also refers to him- or herself by name. Adjectives are only beginning at this age. Thus, a response of "Sammy bed" is likely that of a 24-month-old.
