Chat with your baby, and pay attention to this!

The little baby is still in the "babble" stage, and many mothers have already thought about letting the baby talk early! So, what kind of communication can help babies develop their language skills?

Some mothers say: Listen to more stories to "grind your ears".

Some mothers said: Hey, put the baby aside, listen to the adult chat more, listen more to it and you will know what to say.

Is this true? The answer may not be the same as everyone thinks.

Sometimes we often see that adults are ostensibly playing with their babies, but they are actually chatting with others. This is actually not good for the development of the baby's language. Why?

The essence of language is a combination of a string of sounds. What makes this string of sounds meaningful from other sounds? The connection with the current scene is very important for the baby's language development.

For example, while we put bath water for the baby, we say to the baby, "Mommy is putting you the bath water"; when we say "Mom hug" to the baby, we pick him up.

When such an event happens repeatedly, and at the same time, the baby hears the same sound, and slowly the baby can realize that the combination of this string of sounds is related to the current scene, and what it means.

After a while, the baby can even hear this string of sounds, and make a cooperative expression or action, which shows that the baby has a basic understanding and expectation of this series of sounds.

And if Mom and Dad always say something that has nothing to do with the baby, the baby can't crack the meaning of these sounds, and the process of language understanding will slow down.

Another advantage associated with the scene is that when the language develops to the later stage, the baby himself can combine the correct combination of sounds, that is, after he can say meaningful words and sentences, he also needs to match the language of self-expression with the correct scene, which is actually difficult.

We often think that some fairy tales spoken by babies are funny, why? Because we know what he wants to express, but in this scene, he uses the wrong language, so it will make us feel "funny" and "funny".

To help the baby use the language accurately in the later stage, we must pay attention to the occasion of language use at the beginning. Montessori education advocates "going with the flow", but "going with the flow" does not mean letting go and being free to do it. "Going with the flow" requires us to understand the natural laws of our children's development and to respect and adapt to them.

Therefore, when getting along with the baby, parents try to contact the actual scene to talk to the baby, which can assist the baby to develop language skills.

At the same time, don't forget that when we talk to the baby, we must also have eye and body language interaction, so that the baby will know more clearly that we are seriously "chatting" with them!
