Does a child's late speech have anything to do with IQ?

We all know that in life, many parents are particularly worried that their children will have some developmental delays during their growth, especially in terms of intelligence. Intelligence is related to a child's life. If the intelligence develops slowly, it will affect the child's future. So some parents will judge their children's IQ by judging how early or late they speak. So is there any relationship between a child's late speaking and IQ?

1. Whether the baby speaks early or late is related to these

1. Family language teaching environment

Nowadays, raising a child requires both young and old to join in the process. Parents hope that their children can learn multiple languages. The father speaks Mandarin, the mother speaks English, and the mother-in-law speaks a dialect. In such a multi-language teaching environment, the baby will inevitably fall into a state of confusion in language reception. Parents should know that "you can't get fat in one bite" and should place their children in a single language teaching environment so that the baby can learn to speak earlier.

2. Parents’ overly “manageable” parenting style

When raising a child, parents are too "omnipotent". When the baby needs to eat a certain food, the parents put the food directly in front of the child before the baby can even say a word. This "omnipotent" way of doing things makes the child lose the desire to express himself in words. Therefore, it is best for parents to use the "free-range" approach to allow babies to slowly learn to express their desires.

3. Parents’ misunderstanding of “late speaking”

Many parents will say that their children can speak at the age of one. This speaking may just be calling dad or mom. Some parents understand that their children can speak as complete sentences. Babies can imitate sounds before they are one year old, and can say words when they are one and a half years old. When they are 2 to 3 years old, they understand grammatical expressions and can basically express their meaning clearly. So do parents misunderstand that their children are late in speaking?

2. Speaking early or late has little to do with IQ

Excluding pathological factors, the baby's IQ development is basically inherited from the parents. That is to say, if the parents have no IQ problems, the child's IQ will basically be fine. A baby's IQ may also be related to his acquired diet and educational environment, so parental cultivation is also very important. Do you still think that your baby has a low IQ because he speaks late?
