A sixteen-month-old baby can say five or six words meaningfully, usually form two-word sentences and answer questions with simple words such as “yes” or “no.”
At this stage babies' perceptions are very sensitive; they register what they see and hear. Speaking more than one language around them can increase their ability to learn languages. Babies can learn four different languages as native languages at this stage. If adults at home speak different languages, each should use their own language naturally; the baby can answer each person in that language.
Babies can imitate even our subtle movements. An action we perform in front of them without realizing it may stay in their mind, and they may try to repeat it at the first opportunity. The foundations of medicine poisoning can also be laid at this stage. Taking medicine in front of a child creates a major risk: the child may imitate their parents and try to take a small foreign object that resembles medicine.
