2 years and 3 months old baby does not speak

In life, many babies have congenital language disorders, that is, their language development will lag behind. When the baby is about one year old, the baby can already say basic "dad" and "mom". When you find a two-and-a-half-year-old baby, some basic communication is already possible. However, some babies still cannot speak at the age of two years and three months. At this time, parents must take the baby to the hospital for examination.

The baby is over two years old, and his language development is a little behind. Any parent would be anxious, but it is still recommended that the mother and family members do not worry and do not take the child to the hospital or speech rehabilitation center. This will seriously damage the child's self-confidence.

I have met many children with delayed language development. They are as smart and cute as your baby, but they are two years old and their vocabulary is limited to a few words. Compared with children of the same age, it is really worrying. But at some point when they are two years old or a little over two years old, they can suddenly express a lot of words. A child's development is individual.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Family members must not force children to speak in order to encourage them to express themselves, such as giving them toys only after they speak.

2. Increase the child's cognitive capacity. Children at this stage need their parents to input a large amount of names of the physical objects around them. Only after a large amount of input will there be output. When you get or see something, use the three-step method to teach your child. First, tell the child what it is, then let the child point out what it is, and finally ask the child what it is. You must not ask your baby what it is as soon as you get it.

3. Mothers must not be anxious. Your anxious mentality will affect the child. Mothers should encourage the baby more, lead the baby to speak, and speak with the baby.

4. Interact with other children and have more contact with them. Other children’s expressions will stimulate the baby’s expression.

5. This is very important. The mother and family members must not compare the child with other children. The child’s progress is only a comparison of themselves. When the baby expresses words, he must be praised. If he cannot express himself, the mother can help him to say it out, without forcing the baby.

6. Do not make any negative comments about the baby and do not talk about the baby in front of the baby. The child is a normal child. Don't look at him with tinted glasses.

7. Your baby’s delayed language development may be due to insufficient vestibular stimulation. You can hold your baby and do airplane exercises, let your baby crawl, swing, roll sideways, and touch your baby.
