Language is the bridge to human communication and has a significant impact on a person’s life. Infancy is a critical period for language development. If you can develop your child’s strong language skills as early as possible, it will have far-reaching implications for your child’s future development. 1~2 years old language development chart 1 year old: meaningful phrases appear, such as daddy and mommy; will wave to say goodbye; will imitate simple sounds, such as woof woof. 1.5 years old: More words are spoken, and they can use simple words to interact with others and express their meaning; they can understand simple instructions given by others, such as hugs and kisses; they can follow adults to imitate single words, such as dog, flower, and car. 2 years old: will use phrases or incomplete sentences, asking others to do something, such as drink water, give me; will repeat the last one or two words of the sentence; will recognize common things on TV; if the language development of children fast, even can say clear common sentences. 1~2 years old baby speech guidance program 1, let children learn to distinguish various sounds Create opportunities for children to listen to various sounds, learn to distinguish their differences. For example, the sound of various animals, cars, various musical instruments, nature’s birds, wind, rain, water, etc. Guide children to use language to express what they see and hear. 2. Encourage children to play house games Children of this age like to play with dolls and teddy bears. Parents should encourage them to play and talk to the dolls, such as “good doll”, “mommy hug” and so on, so that children in the “self-talk” communication with the dolls, learn to take the initiative to express their emotions. . 3, “forcing” the child to use language to express their requests Due to the constraints of the level of language development, children are often unable to use the exact words to express their heart’s desire, so they use their fingers, with the action to express their requests. If the child’s request is understood at this time, without the child talking to meet his wishes, over time, will affect the child’s language development. At this point, the child’s request should be pretended not to know or understand, forcing him to express his needs in words. When the child says a word, such as “candy,” we can then say, “This is candy, baby wants candy! Mommy will give it to the baby!” . 4. Respond to your child’s words with positive words and appreciative expressions When your child speaks intermittently and vaguely, don’t interrupt, don’t speak instead of him, and don’t correct his pronunciation. It is a characteristic of infants to learn language by absorbing it first and imitating it later. Speaking clearly and accurately to your child is the best help and solution you can offer your child. After hearing more, the child will naturally correct. The child will only be motivated to keep trying if he finds such attempts interesting. If it is always denied by adults, the child will slowly lose the confidence to actively and positively express himself. 5. Tell your child the name of each item as much as possible “this is a cup”, “then the refrigerator”. As much as possible, tell him the name of every thing in life, which helps the child to store various things in his head. However, you cannot separate words from people, objects, situations, feelings, and ideas. Children learn better when they can see or touch something concrete. How can you teach the word plum deer in your bedroom that is not as accessible to him as telling him at the zoo by watching a plum deer? If not, you should at least have a picture or picture book of a reindeer. 6. Help your child master new words Help your child master new words by telling him everything around him naturally through your words, using short words, not using extra language to speak, and developing good habits of expression. For example, when a child is introduced to a new word but cannot say its name and uses “ummmmmmmmm” instead, the parent should complete the sentence with the child as soon as possible. Note that this is completely different from interrupting your child’s speech. When a child starts to learn a word and tries to organize it into a sentence, he or she may not pronounce it accurately, or may express the meaning upside down. This time, do not blame the child, you just need to say the correct one for him, do not let the child follow you over and over again, that will reduce the interest of the child to learn to speak. For each of his attempts, regardless of whether it is correct or not, you should give encouragement. 8, expand the words your child says into single sentences You are your child’s best language teacher, and he loves to imitate your speech, so you should try to give your child a model for speaking. Your child is not very good at talking yet, but he stores language information in his little head early on. For example, in the morning, when mom brings milk, the child says excitedly, “Milk!” The mother can then say, “Yes, it’s fresh milk! Baby drinks fresh milk!” . At this age, your child’s attention span is very short. One moment he is looking at a pot of flowers on the balcony, and the next he is concerned about the book you are holding in your hand. At this point your topic can only change along with the child’s thoughts. “What a nice flower! Yes, mommy has a book in her hand.” 10. Parents’ initiative to talk with their children plays a very important role in their language learning Parents should take the initiative to tell their children about everything around them. The world is new to the child every day, and every day the child is exposed to new things. When he is experiencing this new feeling, how much he needs parents to act as “narrators”. Talk to your child about the things he sees, hears, and does, and also about your life feelings and experiences. 11, often ask your child some questions because your child likes the sound of your voice when you ask him questions, and asking your child questions also shows that you like your child to respond to you and are happy to have you and your child in a state of dialogue and interaction. Asking questions also gets your child’s attention to what you are saying. You are not really asking the child to respond to the question, you are simply using the question to expose the child to more standardized language. For example, “Are those the baby’s shoes? Yes, those are the new shoes we just bought.” The child seems to be a “studious” person at this stage, asking questions and telling stories, as if he wants to know everything about the world. At this time, parents should not interrupt, reprimand or stall their children because they are bored, but should answer patiently and seriously to keep their children’s curiosity. Don’t wait for your child to ask questions, the best way is to take the initiative and tell him everything he is interested in without boredom. This can be done by combining cards and books.
