How to teach a baby to talk

When children reach the age of babbling, they should master some speaking skills. When the baby is learning to speak, parents should pay attention to several issues. First of all, when the baby opens his mouth to learn to speak, he can learn some simple words at the beginning, which will help the child's mastery ability better. As the time of speaking gets longer, start to add words slowly to increase the difficulty of the language.

Methods/Steps

When the baby begins to learn to speak, there must be a good language atmosphere around him, which needs to be created by parents. Parents should talk more to their babies at this stage. Don't stop talking to your baby because you think the baby can't understand. At the same time, don't talk too complicatedly. You should know that babies can only accept some simple words that are close to life, such as names, food, body, toys, etc. When parents teach their babies, they should also let the baby have cognition of things. For example, when talking about a chair, you should point to the chair and let the baby look at it. In this way, the child will have a basic image of what a chair is. Over time, you can help the child say the word "chair".

At the same time, young babies cannot understand abstract words at first. Therefore, when parents talk to their babies, they need to combine what they say with actions, which plays a key role in the baby's language development. When children imitate adults speaking, generally do not interrupt them. Instead, look at them with a smile and respond. Of course, parents should understand that the baby’s pronunciation is not perfect at this time, and it is normal that he cannot speak clearly. However, parents should slow down their speech when talking to the baby, repeat continuously, and let the baby listen more.

When the baby wants something, parents should not give it to the child immediately. Instead, let the baby point at the thing and say what he wants. As long as the baby pronounces the word and is given the opportunity to speak, parents can slowly teach him, and the baby will slowly learn to use language to ask for things from his parents.

For babies who haven't spoken yet, parents should talk to them more. At this time, they can let the baby look at the parents' mouth shapes. The mouth shapes can strengthen the baby's impression and establish a connection between vision and hearing. When the baby starts to learn to speak, parents should demonstrate more and encourage the baby to pronounce words correctly. When the baby uses gestures instead of language, parents should not indulge the baby and let the baby speak as much as possible.

Precautions

One thing to note is that babies will only be willing to learn to speak when they are in a high mood. Therefore, parents should spend more time with their children and play with them. Some reading materials, such as books, can also help babies learn to speak. Parents can show their babies some simple books and read them to their children to help them open their mouths and read along. When the baby is at home, a good language environment should be maintained at home. Don't speak too many languages, otherwise the baby will not be able to distinguish them. At the same time, parents should know that they should not teach their babies to speak just for the sake of teaching them to speak. Instead, they should pay more attention to observing their babies and guide them to speak some language that interests them.
