What to do if your child has language delay

Many parents find that their children's language expression is slower than that of other children of the same age, which is what we often call language delay. If parents do not pay attention to this situation of children's language delay and do not treat it in time, it may affect the child's future language development. Here are some coping methods for children's language delay. I hope everyone can understand it.

What should we do if our child has delayed language development? Giving our child clear speech and enabling him to communicate with the world without any obstacles is the best gift parents can give their children. However, the emergence of delayed language development in children makes them silent and there is a thick wall of ice between them and the world.

Environmental factors: Families speaking multiple dialects to their children

If a child's father speaks Mandarin, his mother speaks Shanghainese, his grandmother speaks Ningbo dialect, and his nanny speaks Sichuan dialect, then the child will feel at a loss when learning to speak. Parents communicate too little with their children. Some parents are busy with their own affairs or are taciturn and neglect verbal communication with their children. As a result, the children live in a very quiet environment from the moment they are born, have no chance to talk to adults, and their speech is delayed. Children who grow up in special environments (orphanages with very poor conditions) also speak late. Speech delays caused by environmental factors will quickly catch up to normal after improving the environment and strengthening training.

What to do with language delay: pathological factors and some diseases

Such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, infantile autism, central nervous system damage or dysfunction, etc., can lead to delayed speech, and there are also other corresponding abnormal manifestations. Children with mild intellectual developmental delay start speaking 1 to 3 years later than normal.

What to do if language development is delayed: Change the previous parenting style

Children are also thinking, emotional and educated people. Parents should treat them like sensible older children, talk and communicate with them every day, and choose short and rhyming nursery rhymes or stories to read to them. At the same time, get to know the things around you and get in touch with the people around you.

What to do if language development is delayed: Learn to give your child motherly love

Mothers convey their love to their children through their own language, expressions, and actions, which will make them have positive emotions and feel warm and safe. Only then will they actively adapt to and explore the external environment to develop their own intelligence. The critical period for oral language development is within 3 years old. Once missed, it will be difficult to regain and improve the language.

What to do if language development is delayed: In language training, you must have enough patience, confidence and perseverance:

I believe that children will definitely be able to acquire good language skills. We should be careful to avoid impatience and not indulge or neglect children, which will cause them to miss the best educational period and fail to form certain learning habits. This will be a very regrettable thing for the child's future.

What to do if language development is delayed: Give full play to the role of fathers in education and training:

Mother's love and father's love are both indispensable. The lack of any aspect will affect the formation of a child's healthy personality in the future. Therefore, fathers are required to hold their children more often, find ways to get their children to speak, and encourage their children's small progress, so as to strengthen their children's enthusiasm and interest in learning languages.

The most selfless love in the world is the love of parents. When their children have speech disorders, what parents need to do is to use the shoulders of their love to help their children stand higher, go further, and hold up a sky of their own.

The above specifically introduces some precautions regarding children's delayed language development. From the above introduction, we can know that when children have delayed language development, parents still need to pay more attention and require a certain amount of patience. I hope I can help you in life, and I wish you all a happy life!
