Your baby is growing up. He enjoys playing toys, likes to watch cartoons, knows how to crawl, and even tries to walk. And you, of course, are very interested in the question of when will he speak. But really, when do children start talking? Can you tell me the exact age? And is it the same for all children? These questions are of interest to all parents who have a baby, especially if they have the first one.
When do children start talking?
Most of the children make the first sounds that have at least some meaning, about a year. It is considered normal if in a year he speaks from two to ten words. All children are different in character and ability. A sociable and friendly child is eager for conversation, so he will speak earlier. Calm and reasonable likes to watch everything that interests him, and does not seek communication. He likes to play on his own, and he is not interested in talking. Such a baby will speak later, when he has a desire to share his thoughts with someone. Basically, children by the age of three are already speaking clearly or inaudibly. But if a child is silent at this age, this does not mean that he is lagging behind in development, but you need to consult a psychologist.
It is noticed that girls begin to speak earlier than boys. When the children begin to talk, sooner or later, it largely depends on the parents, on the atmosphere in the family, and also on the attitude of the elders towards the child himself. If the family is in a tense situation, parents often curse, speak in raised voices and do not care about their child at all, he will most likely have a desire not to talk, but to cry.
Some parents communicate little with each other and with the child, and he, not feeling attention to themselves from them, does not seek to communicate with them and closes himself in his world.
And it happens that adults talk too much with the baby, moreover, they often command them and do not allow him to take any initiative of his own. Such a child has a feeling of awkwardness in the presence of adults. And he has no desire to talk with them. It is noticed that those children whose parents are too patronizing, intuitively guessing the slightest desire of their child begin to talk late. Such actions lead to the fact that the child does not develop independence, he does not show any initiative, everything that is desired for him is immediately presented to the elders. He simply does not need to say anything.
How to teach a child to talk faster?
First of all, parents should have warm friendly relations with their baby. You need to talk a lot with him, read fairy tales to him, followed by discussion that is available, sing songs, play interesting games for him. The child should have a desire to say something. The kid needs to be asked questions so that he can answer at least: “Yes” or “No”. When walking with him on the street, you need to name the meeting objects, pointing at them with your hand, and invite the baby to repeat the word next. It is necessary to speak correctly with the child - briefly, clearly, clearly. Trying to teach him how to speak, we ourselves learn to speak for children.
It is very useful to massage the baby's fingers, as there are many nerve endings on them. Such massages contribute to the development of the child's abilities and can help him speak earlier. The so-called "finger games" for kids also fulfill this mission. With a one and a half year old child, you can try to play role-playing games. Let mom play the role of, for example, dogs, and daughter play cats. And the animals communicate with each other.
Adults who want their child to speak faster need to be encouraged and encouraged to talk. The child should as often as possible have feelings of pleasure, enthusiasm, even euphoria, so that they find their expression in the words. When children start talking, for parents it is a new pleasant event. And everyone, of course, wants it to come as early as possible. And to accelerate his offensive to parents under the force. To do this, you only need to make some effort.
