Why is the baby talking late
Generally speaking, a 1-year-old baby can call mom and dad and can say some simple vocabulary. However, in recent years, there have been more and more cases of developmental delay in babies. Many babies cannot speak accurately when they are more than 2 years old. Parents don’t think this is a big problem at the beginning. Long, I started to be anxious after seeing that the babies of the same age could talk to their mothers like a stream. What causes the baby to speak late?
1. The baby can't speak due to physiological reasons
Sometimes, it may be due to congenital physiological reasons that the baby cannot speak or speak late. Mother should check whether the baby’s tongue is sticky? Is there a problem with the baby’s hearing? Is the baby sick, such as cerebral palsy? If the baby cannot speak due to physiological reasons, he needs to be treated as soon as possible. Don't miss the prime time for treatment.
2. The language environment causes the baby to not speak
The language environment refers to the person who talks to the baby. If the mother only talks to the baby occasionally, or there are few other people talking to the baby; the family's accent is very mixed, dialects, English, and Mandarin are intertwined. Generally, babies who are in these three unfavorable language environments will be born later when they speak. If the language environment provided to the baby is too monotonous or too complicated, the baby will not get effective stimulation, leading to the lag in language development. Moms need to make changes immediately. They should talk to the baby more and temporarily unify the accent of the whole family so that the baby can easily understand and imitate.
3. The way of communication causes the baby to not speak
Some mothers “know” the baby too much. The baby understands the baby's meaning and satisfies her with a single gesture and gesture. This is not conducive to the baby's language training, and gradually develops the habit of using gestures instead of speaking, thereby delaying the baby's language development.
4. The baby can't speak due to psychological reasons
Some babies are obviously tired of learning to speak, so they don't cooperate. For this kind of baby, the mother even has to express understanding of any form of communication of the baby and conduct parallel communication. Otherwise, this type of baby will also reduce any communication with his mother. When there is any need, he is no longer willing to tell his mother, but to come by himself, or simply give up the need. This is very detrimental to the baby's mental health development.
The environment where babies learn to speak
1. Carry out listening and speaking training to stimulate the development of baby's language ability.
2. Let the baby learn language in childishness, such a language environment will make the baby have the desire to learn.
3. Using child-like language to talk to your baby, the baby can better understand the meaning of the mother and cooperate.
4. Use picture books for language training, which will make your baby more acceptable.
In addition, the baby's imitative ability is extremely strong. As the parents who are the first teachers of the baby to learn the language, they must set an example for the baby when speaking, and do not speak foul language or swear words to prevent the baby from learning bad "language".
The way babies learn to speak
1. Parents must have a correct attitude, don't hurt the baby's self-esteem and interest in learning, and don't be too anxious to show that he can't speak, "how stupid."
2. Provide a good language environment. Someone in the house is always talking to him. When doing housework or playing with your baby, talk to your baby from time to time and only ask him to listen. This is also useful for your baby to learn to speak. If you listen to too much, you will speak out invisibly. Ask your baby to answer some words, help him when he can't answer, and say what you want him to answer several times.
3. Start teaching one word at a time. Every day there is 20 minutes of teaching speaking time. The adult and the baby sit opposite each other, and the adult says a word, such as "flower". Let the baby look at your mouth, that is, look at your mouth shape. Encourage him to "vent his breath" again and play the "flower" sound. Praise it if you have a little expression. This is how many babies learn to speak vocabulary. But don't do it when your baby is angry and tired.
4. Read picture books with him in my free time. The baby is very interested in colorful picture books. Look at a page, talk about it, and wait for him to imitate the main word. The same story can be repeated more and more times, and the key words should be repeated more often.
5. Raise your voice and slow down when speaking to him, so that the baby can fully understand the meaning of the mother. This is of great benefit to learning to speak.
6. Ask more questions and answer by yourself, so that the baby is familiar with the question and answer. His "task" is "answer". No matter what the answer is, the mother must respond positively.
7. Try to use simple sentences and express the main meaning clearly. Don't learn compound sentences first, and learn later when you become proficient in speaking. Don't speak too long a sentence, the baby can't understand the meaning.
8. When the baby has a point of wanting to speak, praise it immediately and encourage the baby to continue talking.
9. Help your baby "make up for it". When the baby says a word to something, such as "water", the mother can tell him to "drink water" and slowly expand to "drink water". After the baby has listened too much, he will slowly learn to speak complete sentences.
10. Start teaching him to use pronouns when speaking. Such as: mother, father, grandma, grandma, etc. After the baby is two years old, teach the baby how to use "you", "I" and "he".
