At what age do children usually start to speak? At what age is it normal for children to speak?

From the moment they are born, children develop a strong curiosity about the things around them. These children have particularly strong learning abilities. Every day when they are full of energy, they will try to get in touch with new things on their own. During this period, their parents' diligent education is indispensable. Parents also follow their babies as they learn to speak and experience the changes of walking, jumping and running. When do children usually start to speak?

Babies can usually pronounce vowels and consonants at 3-4 months old, can pronounce complex sounds at one year old, can say some simple words at one and a half years old, and can basically use simple words to express their thoughts at two years old.

8-12 months is also a very critical period for babies. It is at this stage that many babies begin to make their first conscious notes, their first complete words, their first complete sentences, their first calls for mom and dad, and their first calls for grandpa and grandma. During this stage, parents can follow the rule from simple to complex, and from further to further, starting with the simplest mom and dad, grandparents, tables, chairs, etc., repeating continuously to stimulate the child's language ability. Try to use gestures as little as possible and don't make a habit of using gestures instead of words. In addition, read more to your children

Generally, the baby starts babbling when he is 3 to 4 months old, with vowels and consonants. When he is one year old, he can make complex sounds, like mom and dad, etc. When he is one and a half years old, he can say some simple words, such as I want, what to do, I want to eat. When he is two years old, he can basically use simple words to express his thoughts. If he cannot speak between two and two and a half years old, it is relatively late.

Babies cry as soon as they are born, but their cries are very monotonous:

At 2 months old, the baby's crying sound changes slightly.

At 3 months old, babies can make the sound "a";

At 6 months, the baby may say "da, na";

At 7 months old, the baby will say "ba, ma", but unconsciously, that is, he will not look at his father and say "dad", look at his mother and say "mom";

At 8 months, babies will imitate the sounds of adults;

At 9 months old, the baby will start to murmur repeatedly, saying "Dad" and "Mom", but it is still unconscious.

At 12 months old, babies begin to recognize things and speak consciously.

15-month-old babies can say two- to three-letter words;

An 18-month-old child can say simple two-word sentences;

By the age of three, babies can speak in complete sentences.

If a child cannot speak at the age when he should, and his intelligence and social interaction are slower than those of children of the same age, parents should be alert to whether the child has language delay and take the child to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
