We often encounter inquiries like this: “My baby can’t speak for more than 1 year, he can’t pronounce a few sounds, and he seldom calls mama, is there something wrong with him?” “What should I do if my baby has delayed speech development?” There are many reasons affecting language development. There are many reasons that affect language development, so today we will briefly talk to you about the problems of language development in babies, and whether it is really “late speech of your people”. The development sequence of baby language newborns use crying and adult communication; 2 months to send a, o and e, etc.; 3 to 4 months will send babble, can answer adult voice; 5 to 6 months will send g, k, b and p sounds, occasionally will send kaka, lala; 7 to 8 months to send mama, baba sound, but unconscious, can understand “no “; 9~10 months gradually consciously pronounce mama and baba sounds, and understand the connection between words and actions; 11~12 months pronounce more word sounds, different should be pronounced continuously, and there will be language that adults can’t understand. Isn’t it surprising? Babies grow up with language development, do not use small as an excuse to ignore the baby’s language learning ability. In the end, it will be blamed on the baby not opening his mouth to speak. What are the reasons why babies are late in speaking? 1, with parenting problems Whether in the clinic, public backstage message or private message, we see the most is also the reason. Parents think that the baby is small, do not cry and do not make a fuss, talk to him can not understand, so they do their own things. Some parents also say that they have to take care of their babies alone, and they have to do housework and take care of them, so they don’t have time to talk to them. In this silent environment, the baby does not have a good language environment, learning will naturally be slower. Some parents also spoil their babies too much, and any needs of the baby can be met immediately. This makes it easy to miss the best time to exercise your baby’s speech! 2, autism Autistic babies have abnormal speech and communication, but there is no way to diagnose this disease before the age of 3, it can only be called suspected. If your baby has a tendency to be suspected of autism, it is best for parents to go to the hospital in time. A mother had been anxious about her baby’s speech problem and knew that her baby had delayed speech development, so she observed her baby at home and did not intervene to treat her. When the baby was more than three years old, she found that she was much more behind than her peers. If you intervene at this time, the effect will not be as good as before the age of 3. Therefore, if there is a suspicion of autism, parents should go to the hospital in time for early detection and early intervention, so that the effect will be better. 3. Low intelligence Babies with low intelligence are often unable to understand and express the meaning of words and have poor imitation skills, so they present parents with a state of not being able to speak. Therefore, children with high-risk factors must have regular medical checkups to detect and treat them as early as possible. In addition to the above three reasons, genetics, hearing impairment, “mute” (aphasia caused by neurological factors; aphasia caused by brain damage, mostly with a history of brain injury; selective muteness caused by psychological factors), and too many guardians with too many accents can also cause babies to speak late. The golden period of language development cannot be missed After the baby is born or even before, language activities have first developed in the left hemisphere of the brain. 0~3 years old is the fastest growing period of the brain and the most important period of language learning for children. 6~7 years old onwards, language learning ability accelerates and declines. If children are not exposed to a normal language environment before puberty, the left hemisphere language potential disappears and they will not acquire normal language skills. How to teach baby to learn to speak? When the baby pronounces words, parents should imitate the baby’s language and give a response, which will stimulate the baby’s interest in pronunciation. If your baby is late in speaking, parents should reflect on whether there is such a problem. When your baby communicates with you, you don’t respond or you just say “hmm”? Create a rich language environment for your baby. Communicate with your baby often, when you are feeding, changing diapers, or taking a bath. Before going to bed, you can read more picture books and tell stories to your baby. Use child language to communicate. Children’s language is characterized by clear pronunciation, slow pronunciation, high pitch, emotion, short and repetitive sentences, such as “Baby! Mommy loves you”. This is more conducive to the baby to distinguish the voice, and then learn. Although children’s language is good, after this age, do not use it. When your baby is about 1 year old, you should use normal speech instead of children’s speech. This requires parents to use slow, normal speech to communicate with their babies while they are speaking to them, and after the age of 1, it may be counterproductive if parents still use child language regularly.
