Ten years ago, the well-known language problem was called "stuttering", which was mainly manifested in the unnatural state of the language, and it was often easy to stutter and not fluent when speaking. The language problem that is gradually known to the public after ten years is called "language development delay", which is mainly manifested in late speech, inability to speak, lack of language awareness, poor sound composition ability, and low level of intelligence.
If the public's understanding of stuttering is limited to the skin, then the understanding of language delay is almost non-existent, and many people do not know how much this problem will affect children, and do not know what the consequences of correction will bring. Today, Xiaobian specially invited experts from the Nanjing Center to ask her to reveal the problems in language development delay for us.
The first question: What are the serious consequences of language development delay on the growth of young children?
Editor: Hello teacher, although we usually say that the problem of language development delay will affect the child's language function and other aspects, but a lot of information on the Internet is not complete, and it is not clear enough. So on behalf of the majority of parents, I would like to ask you, what are the serious consequences of language delay on children?
Experts: The impact of language delay on children is actually mainly concentrated in three points, namely language function, cognitive function, and personality and psychology. Let me tell you more about it:
1. The continuous backwardness of language functions
Compared with normal children of the same age, the language function of children with delayed speech shows the characteristics of late formation time, weak formation system, poor expression ability and low comprehension ability. So we can often see such a scene: children are three or four years old, but their language skills are similar to those of one or two years old, and they continue to deteriorate.
2. Cognitive function is also very poor
Poor cognitive function in children with late speech is also very obvious, such as their low response ability, can not do timely feedback on parents' instructions, and then their interaction ability is chaotic, pronunciation and movement can not form a unity, so say a word is waving wildly, no one knows what they are expressing. Moreover, cognitive function becomes worse with age, and even causes intellectual damage at the age of six or seven.
3. Personality imbalance, psychological blockade
Years of corrective experience have found that many children's personalities are biased towards extremes, either very grumpy or very negative, and they are not afraid to communicate with others, so they will lock their psychology in a self-space to refuse the entry of others.
The second question: How do the average family cope with the risks of language delay?
Editor: It turns out that language development delay will actually cause such a serious impact on children, parents must quickly take notes! After talking about the risks caused by language development delay, let's ask the teacher to talk about how ordinary families should deal with the risks caused by language delay.
Expert: Okay, let me talk about how to deal with the risks of late speech, which I hope you should keep in mind, because it may help us one day.
Ordinary families cope with the delay, in fact, mainly in the control of time and the degree of concern for the child, there may be some people do not understand, no problem, wait for me to open the section for everyone to slowly understand.
First of all, the control of time, in fact, this is very easy to understand, because the language problem from the discovery to the correction has a very critical period, medically called the "best correction period", the closer to this time, the higher the degree of children's language recovery, and vice versa, it is getting worse and worse, so parents must pay attention to the control of correction time.
Let's talk about the degree of care for children, this focus is divided into two points, the first point is that we need parents not to be too "concerned" about the child, we need to "let go" of the child, give him the space to grow; the second point is that we should focus on the language development of preschool children, usually to play 120,000 points of spirit to "care", so as not to cause problems to appear and not self-aware.
The third question: In what ways should we tell if a child has developed language delay?
Editor: The teacher's talk is really good, a lot of things are one point. But we also know that ordinary families do not have the ability to distinguish whether children have language delays, so can you ask the teacher to share tips or tricks in this regard?
Expert: Of course, let me share with you some ways to distinguish children who are late in the family:
1. After the age of speaking, you still can't speak, or your pronunciation awareness is extremely poor;
2. Poor awareness of the reaction to the parent's name, inability to understand the connection between the name and the self;
3. Difficulty in language comprehension and difficulty following instructions, and seeming inability to communicate;
4. Less pronunciation, poor pronunciation, and fewer consonants when learning dental language;
5. There is rarely spontaneous imitation, or there are many stereotyped behaviors when imitating;
6. There is no object or imaginary game behavior;
7. There is little initiative to communicate postures or vocal movements;
8. The frequency of non-verbal communication is less, and the communication content with parents is single;
9. Decreased communication intent and lack of response to parental initiatives.
