Language Skills for a 2 Year Old

My daughter is almost two years old and I am worried about her language skills.

Why Aren't You Talking?

Hi everyone. I was just wondering: my son is 16 months old and he doesn't talk. He is extremely smart...I'm not just saying that as his mother. But he doesn't talk at all. Well, he can say Mama, Dada, Ca-Ca, Cu-Cu (means his aunt Jessica), Ra-Ra (his aunt Cassandra), Ba (bath), and Bi-Bi (bites=food). Nothing else. His doctor seems to be concerned with it. I wasn't really at first because I thought, "He's only 16 months!" But all my friends' kids talked by this age. I finally took away his binkie (thanks to the advice of a friend on here...

Help Me Explain to My Daughter About Phrases.

My daughter is 4yrs old and she's a very quick learner...if she hears it once it's forever in her head. And she has picked up a few phrases that I don't appreciate. One is from my Mom...'Life is'nt fair!". She is 4 and doesn't need to know phrases like this...how do I explain to her that it's not right or not to use that phrase without making her feel bad...like she did something wrong??
