There may be several reasons why the baby speaks late:
1: Autism: Don't talk, talk to yourself.
"Don't talk" here means that you can't talk and rarely talk. When the baby is playing, it is just a repetitive and rigid behavior, which has no meaning. For example, he likes to open and close the door and switch the lights back and forth, and he likes to climb up and down in the elevator.
There are also some autistic children who can talk, but their speech is disordered or they often talk to themselves. Parents should also be vigilant. The following are the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics for self-examination of children's diseases. If there is a big discrepancy with the form, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.
2. Listening problem: you can't say three words in a row.
The baby doesn't respond when his parents talk to him, doesn't respond to the sound of TV, toys and ringtones, and doesn't have any communication with other children ... If this happens, think about whether there is a hearing problem. If there are deaf-mute patients in the family elders, then this situation should be paid more attention to. Hereditary deafness is a recessive genetic disease. Although the genetic probability is not great, we need to be vigilant.
Different degrees of deafness have different reactions. If you are completely deaf, the child can't hear at all and naturally won't say a word. If the degree of deafness is 90- 100 decibels, and the child is 2 years old, he can only pronounce simple monosyllabic and disyllabic words, but he can't connect three words, let alone connect sentences. Parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
3. Cerebral palsy: Severe cerebral palsy will cause the baby to be unable to speak.
Cerebral palsy can also cause the baby to be unable to speak, but there are few language barriers caused by cerebral palsy, only severe cerebral palsy, and the incidence rate is relatively low. Therefore, if the child has ever had a brain injury and has speech problems, he must be examined.
4. The position of the tongue strap is in the front: it will not roll the tongue.
If the position of the lingual frenulum is too far ahead, it will limit the movement of the tongue and affect the child's language expression, especially the expression of tongue curl, but it will have little effect on the child's speech sooner or later. So, how to judge whether there is a problem with the child's tongue strap? First observe whether the child's tongue can penetrate deep into the mouth, and then see if the child's tongue is sunken after it is extended. Some children with tongue straps too far can't lick their upper lips.
If you find that your child has such a problem, don't worry too much, because with the development of the tongue, the tongue belt will gradually retreat. In general, children will fix the tongue strap when they are between 1 year and a half and 2 years old. If the tongue strap is still very forward at this time, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for treatment.
The way to make the baby talk.
1: Give more stimulation to promote children to talk.
Things around you are a good tool to educate your baby to learn a language. Show your baby these daily necessities or toys and tell him their names, uses, shapes, etc. Then ask the child what they are, their colors and their uses, but this can't help the baby learn some common sense of life, but it can also help him accumulate new terms and promote the development of language.
2. Meet the requirements and shoot for half a night.
When a baby wants something, he often stares at it or grabs it with his hands. This is that the mother should not satisfy him immediately, but hold it in her hand and encourage her child to say what she wants. If the child can't speak well, the mother can demonstrate first, and the baby can "learn the tongue" first, and then give these things to the child.
3. Repeat what you said.
Prepare a set of animal cards. After the baby knows the animals, let him tell his mother the contents of each card. You can also use a simple picture book, mom tells it, the baby retells it, and then continue.
Step 4 unify family accent
Many families have mixed accents, and dialects are intertwined with Mandarin. Generally speaking, babies in this family environment will talk later. If the language environment you provide your baby is too complicated, and the child can't be effectively stimulated, the language development will lag behind. Therefore, a family should try to unify the accent of the whole family to facilitate the baby's study.
