Language survey puts out list of 25 'must know' words for toddlers ...

Scientists have complied a list of 25 words your child should know by the time they're two years old.

The Language Development Survey?s list of must-know words do include commonalities such as? ?mommy? and ?daddy,? but also includes words like ?ball,? ?juice? and ?hot.?

An article in the Daily Mail quotes the survey?s designer, professor Leslie Rescorla, as saying, ?If children don?t use most of these words by 24 months, they may be late talkers.?

Rescorla says many late-talkers are simply late bloomers and that if the child is developing normally otherwise, parents shouldn?t panic.

If the slowness continues to their third birthday, it might help to visit a speech therapist.

The list:

1. Mommy
2. Daddy
3. Baby
4. Milk
5. Juice
6. Hello
7. Ball
8. Yes
9. No
10. Dog
11. Cat
12. Nose
13. Eye
14. Banana
15. Biscuit
16. Car
17. Hot
18. Thank you
19. Bath
20. Show
21. Hat
22. Book
23. All gone
24. More
25. Bye bye
