How to train children to speak

Many parents become anxious when they see other babies learning to speak, and want their babies to learn to speak as quickly as possible. How to train children to speak? In fact, when children are young, many of their behaviors are imitations of adults. As long as parents communicate more with their children in daily life, read stories to them frequently, and let them receive language stimulation, I believe that children will learn to speak soon.

1. How to teach your baby to speak

In daily life, when parents feed their baby, change their baby's diapers, provide them with daily care, or take their baby out, these are excellent opportunities to communicate with their baby verbally. So, how do you teach your baby to speak?

1. Pay attention to daily communication

When changing the baby's diaper, you can say: "The baby's bottom is dirty, mommy changes the diaper, da, da, put on the small sticky strip, the diaper is changed, the baby is so happy!" When feeding the baby water, you can say: "Drink some water." When looking in the mirror, point at the mirror and say to the baby "This is the baby" and "This is mommy." In addition, when taking your baby out, everything you see and hear along the way can be used as content for conversation with your baby.

2. Appropriate language stimulation

When speaking to your new baby, your voice should be soft, your speech should be slow, and you can also use beautiful melodies to accompany your speech. For example: mothers can sing nursery rhymes to their babies softly; read poems to their children, such as "Three Character Classic" and so on. However, mothers must know the limits. Language stimulation should not be too frequent or last too long, so as not to fatigue the baby's brain and nerves, which would result in counterproductive results.

3. Pay attention to intonation and onomatopoeia

Although babies cannot speak, they have different feelings about different tones. Parents should use higher-pitched voices when communicating with their babies. Raising the tone to attract the baby's attention, lowering the tone to comfort or arouse the baby's positive emotions

mood. When parents talk to their babies, they should use more onomatopoeia and reduplication that babies like to hear. For example: "The chicks chirp, the ducks quack..." The baby will be very happy after hearing it, and then will naturally imitate it.

4. Use 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 already use gestures to express their needs at 8-10 months old. They will touch an object with their fingers.

body, attract the mother's attention, hoping to meet their needs. For example, the mother can first demonstrate by pointing to the baby's photo or a picture 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 points to 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.

5. Use more positive and affirmative words and phrases

When your baby is learning to speak, parents should try to use fewer negative phrases such as "Don't touch it" or "Stop, don't do that." Positive and affirmative words will give your baby great confidence. For example, if your baby is naughty and grabs a teacup to play with, you might as well give him a ball instead and say, "Let's play with the ball together. Mommy rolls the ball over to you, and the baby catches it and then rolls it back to mommy."

6. Make games

Babies are born to love games, and they can learn a lot through game interactions. Parents, you should often play games with your babies to create a happy atmosphere. For example, in the nose-touching game, you and your baby face each other.

Sit opposite him 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 follow your language prompts and point to his own

own body parts. Babies can naturally and happily acquire language through this organized game.
