My daughter is 16 months old and says mama, dada, dowa (dora), bah pah (backpack) , mahp (map), cup (tup), and ipah(diaper). And that's it. She understands almost evrything that you tell her and points at things; ie nose, mama's face, pretty eyes.. so on and so forth but most of the time she doesn't seem to want to talk, should i be worried about this?
I read at a parenting website that most gilrs her age should say about 70 words and understand over a hundred.
Answer
What parenting website would that be? That's insane!

Here is a checklist that you can follow to determine if your child's speech and language skills are developing on schedule. You should talk to your child's doctor about anything that is checked "no."

12 to 18 months
* babbles - sounds like sentences
* understands simple questions/statements e.g.. "where is your nose?", "give me"
* says words (not clearly)
* nods "yes" and shakes head for "no"
* enjoys rhythm and likes to "dance" to music
warning signs
* does your child not talk at all?
* is your child sociable?

Between one and two
Milestones
* Understands "no"
* Uses 10 to 20 words, including names
* Combines two words such as "daddy bye-bye"
* Waves good-bye and plays pat-a-cake
* Makes the "sounds" of familiar animals
* Gives a toy when asked
* Uses words such as "more" to make wants known

By 12 to 15 months
Children this age should have a wide range of speech sounds in their babbling and at least one or more true words (not including "mama" and "dada"). Nouns usually come first, like "baby" and "ball." Your child should also be able to understand and follow single directions ("Please give me the toy," for example).
From 18 to 24 months
Children should have a vocabulary of about 20 words by 18 months and 50 or more partial words by the time they turn 2. By age 2, kids should be learning to combine two words, such as "baby crying" or "Daddy big." A 2-year-old should also be able to follow two-step commands (such as "Please pick up the toy and bring me your cup").

By the end of 18 months, your child may:
* Point to an object or picture when it's named
* Recognize names of familiar people, objects and body parts
* Follow simple directions, such as "Throw me the ball"
* Say up to 20 words

why do children in daycare talk and potty train faster than children who are raised at home?

Answer
All children are different. However, in daycare the children are almost forced to get to the next step. Sometimes children at home can babble, point, etc and a parent will still know what they want and give it to them. At daycare, or with other children they are forced to use their words in order to communicate and be understood. Children who are developmentally delayed are often put in a group of their peers(despite not having reached certain milestones), b/c they are forced to try harder to "compete" amongst these peers. I work in a daycare and we have a little boy 18 months that is developmentally at a much younger age. He was in the infant room for quite awhile, but he was not being challenged to be more physical(crawling, pulling to stand, etc), b/c the other children do not do that either. He does not need to pull to stand to get toys, b/c they are all at ground level shelves. The next room would encourage pulling to stand if he wanted something, as the shelves are higher.
Potty training can sometimes be more consistent at a daycare. We are in the same place all day, no need to grocery shop, clean the house, clothes shop, etc. We can set children on a very strict routine of when they are sitting on the potty. A daycare can have a child sitting on a potty to try and go every 2-3 hours if they chose. They also have their peers for examples. Children want what others have, so if Billy has spider-man underpants, and Danny sees and wants them, he may be willing to go on the potty like Billy. Or if everyone in the room is using the potty, little Hannah may feel left out if she is still in diaper, and will want to be a big girl like her friends, so she will be more willing to try.
However, with all that said, all children are different. Some children are great talkers at 18 months, while other find their voice at 2. Some kids potty train at 2 years old and others are not ready until they are three.
