What should I do if my three-year-old baby doesn’t speak?

The intellectual development of babies has always been the most concerned issue for parents. When will the baby learn to walk, when will the baby start to call mom and dad, and when will the baby be able to communicate with other children? These seem to be factors that measure the intellectual development of the baby. However, since each baby has a different personality, the communication skills they exhibit are also different. So what if a three-year-old baby doesn't speak?

What should I do if my three-year-old baby doesn’t speak?

First of all, we need to find out the reasons why children are unwilling to speak. Excluding physiological reasons such as low IQ, psychologically, there are two aspects:

Some babies don’t like to talk because they don’t like to express themselves, which is mostly caused by their own personality. Some babies are introverted, shy or withdrawn. Some babies start talking late and their speech is unclear, which often makes adults laugh and also makes babies afraid of speaking. If parents often blame their baby and are too strict with their baby, it will cause the baby to become quiet.

2. Babies who are not good at expressing themselves often lack the stimulation of the language environment, which affects their language development. When mom and dad are quiet, the baby does not get the stimulation of the language environment and has no one to imitate in speaking, so he also becomes quiet. Or maybe mom and dad understand too quickly and have already taken over things before the baby can even speak. Over time, although the baby can express himself, he is not very fond of expressing himself.

How to cultivate your baby's language expression ability

1. Try to let children speak complete sentences.

When we teach children to learn a language, we should try to let them speak complete sentences. In this way, children will master the language more proficiently and accurately, and can better exercise their sense and ability to express the language.

2. Let children accumulate more rich words.

For young children, the process of learning a language is definitely a process of gradual accumulation and growth. Therefore, parents and teachers should let children accumulate more vocabulary, enrich their vocabulary, and they should repeatedly reinforce these vocabulary.

3. Tell stories to children vividly.

Parents should tell their children more stories and choose some simple, easy to understand and humorous stories to tell their children. In this way, children's interest in learning will be stronger. In addition, you can also use some radio and recordings to play for your children.

4. You can play more language games.

We can also play some language games with children, such as saying the opposite of what you mean, or telling fables, and having them gesture and guess. In this way, children can experience the fun of language in the process of learning the language and love learning more.

5. Let your child learn to read as early as possible.

Developing children's reading habits can help them quickly increase their vocabulary and use vocabulary more freely. In addition, parents should read with their children, so that they can cultivate good reading habits in their children.

For the upbringing of a baby, not only physical nutrition is necessary, but psychological and language education are also very important. Parents should not always protect their babies under their wings. Babies have to grow up and need to interact and communicate with other children in order to grow up normally. Pay attention to cultivating your baby's self-confidence and give him or her opportunities to use his or her hands and brain.
