How to stimulate a two-year-old baby to talk

Teaching a child to speak is a technical job. For a two-year-old baby who is just beginning to learn to speak, parents play an important role at this time. They must find ways to get the baby to speak in daily life. Gradually, the baby will learn some words by stammering. So, how can mothers stimulate their two-year-old babies to speak? You can try to teach your baby the specific methods by following the instructions below.

1. Four ways to teach your baby to speak

1. Listening: Let your baby listen to you telling stories, reciting nursery rhymes and talking. Telling stories and reciting songs before bed should be a "compulsory course" for babies every day. Each story should be told for at least 1 to 2 weeks, and there should be a fixed number of nursery rhymes that should be short, easy to remember and catchy. After many repetitions, the baby's brain will establish a processing system that turns stories and nursery rhymes into his internal language. Although he can't speak it very well yet, he will express his dissatisfaction if you deliberately read it wrong. Then you should try to have him "pick up the phrase," or pick up the last rhyming word in the nursery rhyme.

2. Look: that is, talk about things or pictures. At this time, the method is very important, and the "question-and-answer" approach should be adopted. The first is "you ask him to point". If you ask, "Where is the mother bear?" he can point to the animal you mention. When he becomes familiar with these words and the relationship between the things they represent, you must change the way you ask, "you ask him, he says." For example, if you ask "Who is this?", it will not work to answer with your fingers. You must say the word "Mama Bear."

3. Action: learn to speak by doing actions. A 1 to 2 year old baby is a little athlete. The motor skills he has learned are not only numerous but also clear, such as: crawling, walking, running, stopping, jumping, climbing, taking, throwing, rolling, and asking for, etc. Learning to speak through actions generally goes through three stages: first, you have to use accurate language to "translate" the actions he is doing; second, he listens to your instructions and does the actions; third, he speaks and does the actions at the same time, that is, he speaks and does the actions at the same time.

4. Daily conversation: Every day you should consciously talk and converse with your baby in daily life situations. The language should be brief, clear, and formal. Don't speak in baby talk. If you want him to say a word, stress it or repeat it several times to stimulate his desire to speak. The most important thing is to keep your baby in a happy mood and in an atmosphere conducive to learning to speak. Teach your baby to speak in a relaxed, playful, and purely entertaining way in a loving atmosphere, because a child's speech will only develop fully if he feels loved.
