At what age do babies start learning to talk?

Every mother feels happy when accompanying her child as he or she grows up, from the time the baby is born, to the baby's babbling, to the baby learning to walk. When it comes to the topic of babies learning to speak, many mothers can't help but ask, at what age is it normal for a baby to learn to speak? Some mothers are anxious because their babies are almost two years old and still can’t speak. So at what age is it normal for babies to start learning to speak?

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

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

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

Fourth, 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;

Fifth, 1.5 years old: The conversational vocabulary increases, and the child can use simple words to communicate and express ideas, understand simple instructions given by others, and learn to say words from adults, such as: car, drink, meal, etc.;

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

Seventh, speaking has a lot to do with the language environment.

1. Create an environment with sufficient language stimulation, read nursery rhymes and stories to your children more often, repeat appropriately, and increase your children's impression of phonetic sentences.

2. When talking to your child, speak slowly, clearly, and at a level close to the child's current development level.

3. Children should point to objects and name them before they start talking.

These are general conditions. In fact, when a baby learns to speak has a lot to do with the baby himself, the family and language environment in which the baby lives. Some babies speak earlier and some later, which is normal, so parents don’t need to worry. However, parents can communicate with their babies more and read more books to their babies. This way, the babies can be influenced by a good environment and language, which will be of great benefit to them in the future.
