What to do if your two-year-old baby speaks late

When a child says his first word or calls "Mommy" and "Daddy" for the first time, it is usually the happiest moment for parents. Generally, children can say a few words or simple phrases by the time they are one year old. However, when a child still has difficulty speaking at the age of two, parents will be very worried about whether the child is sick or cannot speak. So, what should we do if our two-year-old baby speaks late?

Generally speaking, you should speak slowly to infants and young children, pronounce clearly, use simple sentences as much as possible, emphasize key words, and repeat them several times. For example, when putting shoes on a child, the mother can show the shoes to the child first, and then put on the shoes for him, while saying to him: "Look, these are the baby's shoes, shoes, put on shoes." There is also a little trick in talking to children, that is, the tone should be exaggerated and varied, which will easily attract the child's attention. In addition, when talking to children, if the parents' tone and expression are kind and pleasant, the child will respond better because he will feel that it is a happy thing for his parents to talk to him.

Some children are shy and introverted and don’t talk much despite their parents’ best efforts. Parents of such children should observe carefully, discover what they are interested in, and find ways to excite them. In most cases, children who are in an excited state talk and move more. To teach children who are reluctant to talk, parents need to find ways to stimulate their interest. As long as you use your mind wisely and guide your child patiently, your child will continue to make progress. Of course, there are a few children who rarely learn to speak. Even so, parents don’t have to worry too much.

It actually takes a process for children to speak. The most important thing is the company of their parents. Parents must talk to their children frequently, which can stimulate their desire to speak. A two-year-old baby's late speech is not necessarily due to physical defects. It may have a lot to do with the environment around the child and the education of his parents. Parents must be patient and not give up.
