These skills are very important for babies to learn to speak

When the baby starts to learn to speak, the methods used by parents are very important. If the correct techniques are mastered, it can help the child develop speaking skills quickly. If the methods are inappropriate, it will have a negative impact on the child's speech.

1. Appropriate language stimulation

Language stimulation should start as early as possible. Don’t wait until your baby learns to speak to start language stimulation; start it in advance to give your child a period of accumulation and development. Before the baby is born, you should consciously communicate with the fetus. After the baby is born, the mother should insist on talking to the baby every day. Beautiful and rhythmic language can stimulate the baby and promote the development of the language center and brain. Therefore, when mothers speak to their newborn babies, their voices should be soft and slow, and they can also be accompanied by beautiful melodies. For example: mothers can gently sing nursery rhymes to their babies; read poems, "Three Character Classic" and so on.

2. Daily communication in all languages

In daily life, when parents feed their baby, provide care for him, or take the baby out, these are excellent opportunities to communicate with the baby verbally. Moms and dads can organically combine this moment and scene, talk to their babies, and create a full-language communication environment. For example:

You can tell your baby while you are doing things so that he can understand what you mean. When undressing your baby, say, "Take off your shirt," and when you say, "Now take off your shoes," take off your baby's shoes. When changing a diaper, you can say: "Baby's butt is dirty, mommy is changing the diaper, dab, dab twice, put on the small sticky strip, and the diaper is changed."

3. Learn how to speak

Whether you are talking about your infinite love for your baby or a flock of rare birds in the sky, letting your baby see your enthusiasm, emotion, emphasis, etc. These elements that enhance the quality of your speech can attract his attention and prompt him to try to understand what you are saying. Use ascending tones to attract your baby's attention and descending tones to comfort or evoke positive emotions in your baby. In addition, babies like to listen to onomatopoeia and reduplication. For example: "The chicks chirp, the ducklings quack..." The baby will be very happy after hearing it and will naturally imitate it in the future.

4. Make games

Babies are born to love games, and they can learn a lot through game interactions. So play games with your baby often to create a happy atmosphere. For example, in the nose-touching game, you and your baby sit face to face and let him look at you. You name a part of the body and ask your baby to point it out. You ask him, "Where is mommy's nose?" The baby will point to your nose with his finger. You can also let your baby point to his or her body parts according to your language prompts. Babies can naturally and happily acquire language through this organized game.

5. Training gestures

According to scientists, the earlier a baby learns to point with his index finger, the earlier he can express his needs and speak. Babies can use gestures to express their needs between 8 and 10 months old. They will touch an object with their fingers to attract people's attention and hope that people will meet their needs. For example, the mother can first demonstrate by pointing to the baby's photo or the poster on the wall, talking while pointing, and then pulling the baby's finger. After training many times, the baby will learn to pull! When the baby reaches an object, the mother should say the name of the object, slow down the speaking speed, and say it several times to develop the baby's language.
