How many months does it take for a child to speak?

In fact, every child learns to speak at a different age. For example, babies between 1 and 3 months old can only utter simple syllables, and it is a physiological phenomenon and has no meaning. However, after the age of two, they can use simple vocabulary and speak some incomplete sentences. Parents can learn more about the language development process of their children.

1. The development of language

1-3 months: Able to make simple monosyllables, which have no meaning and are just physiological phenomena;

4-6 months: If someone talks to him, he will respond with babbling and can laugh;

6-9 months: He will look for something when he hears a sound, respond to his own name, and try to imitate the voice of an adult, making a series of babbling sounds;

1 year old: meaningful words appear, such as "Dad", "Mom", know how to wave goodbye, can imitate simple sounds, and can point to common objects;

1.5 years old: The baby's conversational vocabulary increases, and he can use simple words to communicate and express his meaning. He understands simple instructions given by others and learns to say words from adults, such as: car, drink, meal, etc.

2 years old: Able to use simple vocabulary to speak incomplete sentences, such as "drink water" and "give me" to express needs, and can repeat the last one or two words of the sentence. Children with rapid language development can even speak clear common sentences.

2. Help your child learn to speak

1. Encourage pronunciation: Babies under 1 year old have a babbling period. When they are in a good mood, they like to make sounds continuously. At this time, you can play with them and imitate their sounds.

2. Gesture practice: You can use some gestures or body movements to help understand the meaning, such as waving to say goodbye. You can also give him some simple instructions, such as shaking your hands, nodding, etc., and let him perform the actions. Adults can show him how to do it first and let him imitate, or they can directly guide him to do it.

3. Create a rich language environment: Tell your child everything about the people, things and objects in the living environment. Speak the key words slowly and clearly, and raise your voice and repeat them many times. Putting children in an environment full of meaningful words will help increase their understanding. When talking to children, adults should face them and ask children to pay attention to their mouth shape and look at them.
