"How old is your child? What? Only 8 months, taller than my one-year-old grandson "; "Does your child eat breast milk or milk powder?" ; "How can your child have so many teeth? My grandson is almost one year old and only has five or six teeth. " "Your child can talk? I this child yo, how to teach all don't say, anxious. " ...
If you want to know whether your children speak later or less than others' children at every age, let's first understand the language development indicators of children between 3 months and 6 years old.
3- 12 months
At this stage, children will whistle, sometimes mutter and sometimes giggle (we adults don't understand the world of babies). When the music is playing, the baby will make body movements with the music.
Babies' babbling before 1 year old is a period of severe language development. At this time, babies often produce some unconscious sounds, which sound like chatting with their parents. This is very interesting. At this time, don't shout and don't stop. You can respond symbolically to "oh", "yes", "oh, really" and so on, exaggerating the tone or facial expression, so that children can feel that what they have said has been understood and gain the confidence to continue talking.
12- 18 months
/kloc-the baby of 0/2 months begins to say something gradually, and then the baby will gradually learn to say more.
It should be noted that children can understand far more than they can express. Moreover, children in this period can understand some simple instructions and start trying to complete them. For example, when you say "no", they can understand (but the more you say "no", the more children do it).
18 months -2 years old
During this period, the children's vocabulary is constantly increasing. She has begun to combine two words into a short sentence. She can understand most of what she hears, and most of the time adults can understand what they want to express.
Of course, children's language development is fast and slow, early and late, but if the baby can't speak some words by 18 months, it is necessary to take the child for a check-up.
2-3 years old
During this period, the child should be able to say longer and more complicated sentences, and her pronunciation and intonation can more accurately reflect her emotional changes.
She may speak fluently when playing. By the time the child is three years old, unfamiliar people may understand most of what she wants to express.
3-5 years old
Now that children have reached the stage of preschool education, adults can have some longer, more abstract or more complicated conversations with children.
He may have many interesting topics or questions, and his vocabulary is increasing. He may show that he has basically understood the most basic grammatical structure and tried to use it to make more sentences. Parents can expect him to tell some interesting stories at this time.
5-6 years old
In the first two years of school, children will learn more words and begin to understand how different combinations of words sound and what different meanings these words have in the language context. She will be better at telling stories more vividly because she has learned how to combine words in different ways and make different types of sentences.
After knowing what skills the baby should master at each stage and the language development of the child at each stage, parents can check whether their baby is within this reasonable range. It doesn't matter if there are some deviations at a time. Every child's growth and development are different. As long as there is no big deviation, there is still room for adjustment and improvement.
So how should we consciously cultivate children to speak? 1, when teaching children to speak slowly, the pronunciation should be clear, and it is best to use interesting or colorful pictures or objects as an aid.
For example, when walking outside, pointing to a flower to teach the baby that it is a flower and pointing to a puppy to tell the baby that it is a dog can imitate the barking of the dog to deepen the baby's impression.
2. Be patient in the process of teaching children to speak, which needs to be repeated.
As we all know, in the process of learning new knowledge, our brains are a process of repeating memories. We may remember a word easily in a short time, but if we don't use it often afterwards or don't consolidate our memory for a long time, the word will gradually decline, and so will children. For example, in the process of teaching the baby to know the theory of mom and dad, we should constantly repeat to the child who is the father and who is the mother until the child consciously distinguishes the difference between father and mother, and the difference between parents and others.
3. When training children to speak, remember to encourage understanding, praise more and smile more.
At first, the baby may have poor pronunciation or can't remember. Don't beat and scold, don't lose your temper, don't complain about "how simple it is, how stupid it is to learn", "We don't like you unless you call people" and so on.
4. Don't use your lack of time or environment as an excuse to avoid educating your children.
To know everything in life, every moment with your baby can be the best time to teach your baby to talk and communicate with him. For example, before dinner, take the baby to wash his hands. You can tell the baby that "the baby has come to wash his hands for dinner", and tell the baby that "the baby should pay attention to hygiene and wash his hands before meals", "This is washed water", "Now we wash our hands with warm water, which is not cold at all" and so on.
Conclusion Parents should start talking to their babies as often as they do with friends, starting with their children's intention to express or want to talk. Don't think that the baby is too young to understand. Children's intelligence and understanding are far beyond the imagination of adults.
