What should I do if my three-year-old child still cannot speak clearly?

When children grow to a certain stage, different changes will occur. Some children are still not able to speak clearly at the age of three. In this case, it is best for parents to take their children to the hospital for examination in time. If it is not a physical defect, parents must pay attention to it in normal times, demonstrate patiently to their children, do not scold or ridicule their children, and guide their children patiently. The following specifically introduces methods for children who are still unable to speak clearly at the age of three.

After the age of 3, most babies can use some complex sentences to communicate, which lays a new foundation for them to enter the social environment of kindergarten. However, some babies still cannot pronounce words clearly at the age of 3. So how should we help babies learn to speak? Some babies start speaking very late, and enter the language explosion period at the age of two. Now they are three years old, but their speech is still unclear. For example, their older brother only says "de de" but cannot pronounce this phonetic symbol. Many people cannot understand what he says.

In fact, there are many reasons why a three-year-old baby cannot speak clearly. In addition to developmental problems, functional disorders, family heredity, introverted personality, etc. are all possible reasons. If a three-year-old child cannot speak clearly, parents should guide him in time to solve the problem correctly. If the condition is serious, go to the hospital for further treatment.

1. Speak to your baby with accurate pronunciation. The baby's language learning starts with imitation. Every pronunciation made by the mother is a template for the baby to learn. The baby cannot process and distinguish language by himself and can only speak one word at a time. Parents should not rush to correct their baby's non-standard pronunciation, because some of the pronunciation organs have not yet fully developed, especially the function of the tongue has not been fully developed, such as the frenulum of the tongue and tongue muscles, which all need to develop gradually with age. If you force correction, it will make the baby impatient and anxious. Loss of judgment of exact pitch.

2. Encourage your baby to talk more and use more language. Some mothers can often understand their baby's body language and know what the baby means without the baby saying anything, just a look or a gesture. Once the baby gets used to this way of communication, he will not like to express himself with words. Therefore, mothers must encourage their babies to speak out their words. In short, talking is also a way to train your vocal organs.

2. Don’t speak for your baby. When someone comes to the house or when the baby goes out for a trip, there will always be enthusiastic people who come to tease the baby and ask the baby some questions. At this time, mothers must encourage the baby to answer the questions themselves instead of answering for the baby. Once mothers become the spokespersons for their babies, the babies will always hide behind their mothers. Body language can also convey emotions and is easy to use.

3. Encourage your baby to speak accurately. Many referential nouns, such as dad, mom, grandma, table, lamp, etc., all represent specific meanings. At this stage, you need to help your baby distinguish, remember, and identify them, because the language development at this stage can help improve the baby's cognition, and it is also an important stage in the formation of language thinking. Babies may only use expressions with unclear references, such as "this" and "that". At this time, do not rush to understand and satisfy the baby's wishes, but enrich the content and process of language help. Curiosity is the golden moment for babies to learn language. Let your baby say clearly what he wants. For example, if your baby points to a bell on the wall and asks you to pick it up, you should tell your baby: What do you mean? You need to say it clearly. If your baby tells you it is "Ding Dang", you can still pretend to be confused and ask: What is Ding Dang? If the baby cannot speak and can only use onomatopeia, then the mother should emphasize that this is a bell. Why is it called a bell? Because it will make a "ding-dong" sound. This can enhance your baby's cognition and memory. By reminding your baby like this frequently, he will realize that he needs to think about how to speak so that others can understand him, and will gradually realize that the more specific and clear the description is, the easier it will be for others to understand.
