Introduction to the development of baby's language ability 1 Children's early language development begins with understanding the language and knowing how to communicate. This process began long before birth. In the last month of pregnancy, the fetus can hear the mother's voice outside the body. At birth, although babies only communicate by crying loudly, the process of developing language ability through repetition and imitation has already begun.
1, from birth to three months
In the early days, babies can distinguish their mothers' voices, and when familiar voices speak to them, they will turn their heads to those familiar voices. Some babies also express their happiness by smiling and making noises. They also express their different needs by crying and respond to people's voices by making different voices.
2. From three months to six months
At the age of three to six months, children will habitually turn their heads to the person who is talking to them, and they will also be interested in the mouth movements when people talk. At this stage of language development, children usually imitate the sounds they hear, and they also try to replace vowels with some consonants, such as "ah". Now they can attract people's attention by making sounds like "ahhh ……" to respond to other people's questions. Because the sounds made by babies at this stage are the common language of babies all over the world, it also implies that people are born with the ability to learn languages.
3, six to twelve months.
This stage is a very important stage of language development. At a certain stage, children have been able to distinguish words such as "dad", "mom" and "goodbye". But now they can make up to twelve different sounds and can only repeat these syllables to express their inner feelings. By nine months, children have begun to know the names of ordinary daily necessities and acquaintances. They can understand the meaning of words like "no". Besides, they have been able to recognize their own names. Babies can now pronounce most vowels and consonants.
4. Staggering period
Children are toddlers from 12 to 15 months. The children began to use some simple words and said "no" according to some instructions from their parents. When they are eighteen months old, they can usually understand simple words such as "above" and "hot". And their vocabulary is increasing every day, and a few words can form simple sentences. Before the age of three, the baby will concentrate on reading early education textbooks, such as listening to or talking about daily activities. At this point, they began to develop the habit of reading and learned to read from left to right and from top to bottom.
Introduction to the development of baby's language ability 2 When the baby was born, he couldn't speak or fully understand what you said to him, but he learned quickly.

As a survival skill, babies always adapt to the people around them emotionally. He can understand your feelings and thoughts from your tone of voice, mouth shape, breathing frequency, contact with skin and eyes. Your baby will build his understanding of the real world through your reaction to him. If he cries, come and see him. If you always look at him with loving eyes, when he is hungry, you will feed him and he will feel valued.

If you put him in the arms of someone he doesn't know, he may cry.

Your baby has begun to understand some simple instructions. For example, when he wants to touch the power socket and say "don't move", he will stop to look at your face, and maybe shake his head in response to a "no".
The baby is also testing your reaction to his behavior. He will throw his food on the ground, just to see what you will do, and keep your reaction in the memory bank of his little head. After that, he will try you again to see if you will make the same reaction.

Before bidding farewell to diapers, babies need to associate defecation with the use of children's toilets.

Language learning is second nature to a baby, and now he can turn his attention to more complex concepts involving emotions.
At the age of two or three, the baby can understand the foundation of interpersonal relationship: love and trust. He knows that you and other family members care about and support him. In the first few years of his life, he learned these important concepts from your attitude towards him. You give your baby your love, meet his needs, ensure his safety and help him grow into a safe and optimistic child.

Studies have shown that babies who listen to adult reading every day from about 6 months old will have stronger communication skills. However, you can also start reading to your baby six months ago; Even a few weeks after the baby was born. Because even if the baby can't understand the words and stories, he can feel the pleasure and peace of reading, and it is also a good time to enjoy with you.
Playing with your baby will help him better understand the laws of things. Let the baby play with age-appropriate toys and games, which is helpful to his physical and mental development.

What you need to worry about is
If the baby doesn't seem to understand the simplest instructions by the time he is 2 years old, you need to take him to consult a doctor.
