What should I do if my 2-year-old baby still can't talk?
Children speak late, many parents are anxious, and some parents are indifferent, but complacent, thinking that "nobles speak late." The reasons that lead children to talk late are their own physical problems and parents' education. Let's talk about the possible reasons why children talk late. Parents can take different measures accordingly.

Hearing impairment

Some children's late speech may be related to hearing impairment, and children's hearing impairment must be treated in time. If children are deprived of speech and sound stimulation in the first 2~3 years, they will not be able to gain the development potential of the best language function in the later growth and development process. Children with hearing impairment generally have the following manifestations-

0~4 months: when the baby sleeps quietly, the sudden sound will not wake the child immediately; When children hear a sudden loud noise, they don't react with fear.

4~7 months: at 4 months, if there is an invisible sound, the child's head will not turn to the sound source; At the age of 5 or 6 months, the child will not make many different voices dumb; At 7 months, the baby can't turn directly to the invisible sound source.

7~9 months: if the sound is not in the horizontal direction, the child can't find the sound source directly; If children can't see the sound source, they won't giggle or mumble; The child's voice has not changed in tone.

9~ 13 months: the child won't turn around and can't find the voice behind him; Babies can't imitate some sounds, nor can they make many different sounds.

13~24 months: you call the child in the other room, and he can't hear you; Children don't use some voices to answer you or come over.

When parents find that their children have hearing loss, they must first go to a regular hospital for treatment. Through early intervention, the hearing-impaired children can recover their hearing, and further make their speech perception develop close to or even reach the development level of normal children. For children with conductive hearing loss, drugs and surgery can be used to improve their hearing. Children with sensorineural hearing loss need hearing AIDS or cochlear implants to restore their hearing. After using hearing AIDS, children need to receive hearing and speech rehabilitation training for a certain period of time, in order to gradually acquire hearing skills, adapt to hearing AIDS, learn speech effectively, and approach or reach the level of hearing and speech development of normal children.

hereditary factor

Family factors are also related to speaking sooner or later. Some children have normal intellectual development, no hearing impairment, no other diseases, and just talk late. This situation may be related to family inheritance, and their parents may speak late when they were young. There is no need to worry about this situation. Parents can communicate with their babies more to promote their language development.

Language functional dislocation

There are also some children who speak late because the language function center of the brain is misplaced. Under normal circumstances, the language function center should be in the left hemisphere of the brain. American scientists found through magnetic resonance imaging that almost 90% of children who speak late have their language function centers dislocated in the right hemisphere of the brain.

Parents' reasons

There are also some children who speak late because of their parents' own reasons. These children are not unable to speak, but unwilling to speak, thus giving the impression that they speak late. Some parents often say things that children can't say. Over time, children get used to listening and don't want to talk. There are also a few parents who force their children to speak, or make their children's pronunciation not a joke, which unintentionally hurts their self-esteem, so they become unwilling to speak. In addition, parents who don't talk much, or guardians who give their children whatever they want, and change too quickly, may cause their children to stop talking.

In this case, parents should:

1, consciously talk to children and imitate them more. For example, let the child sit on the leg, the mother points to the apple, let the child touch the mother's lips and nose, and then say "apple". If the child is right, give some small rewards.

2. Delay meeting the child's requirements, try to let him say it, and then give it to him.

3. Combine the child's speech with the game, such as "the baby catches the ball"; When dressing, say "the baby's arm is stretched out" and "the foot is out" every day, so that the child can connect his feet, arms and legs.

4. Create an environment for communication with children. Children of similar size often play together, not only having fun, but also learning from each other in communication.

5, can give children early education classes, systematically develop and train children's various abilities.

Parents should encourage their children to speak, try to let him speak naturally in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, guide them patiently and persevere.
