Friend Xiaoyun has been very troubled recently, her three-year-old baby, every day is difficult to feed, speaking is not clear, but also always lose their temper, drop things, can be called the family "little magic star".
There is no harm in contrast, the baby girl born in the neighbor's family half a year later, eat Ma Ma Xiang, hand a spoon to eat egg soup, but also say a few simple words, usually with children is very easy.
Xiao Yunchao is confused, is this the difference between men and women, and the babies born in the first half of the year and the second half of the year are really different?
I asked Xiao Yun, is he trying to make paste supplements for children? And always feeding?
Xiao Yun said "yes".
Why, isn't this what it's found?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" >Why do children "eat complementary foods" affect "learning to speak"? </h1>
Eating and pronunciation are inseparable from people's mouths.
We can observe how we eat when we usually eat by ourselves.
Bite or hold the food, close your mouth and start chewing. During chewing, food spreads to different parts of the mouth, sticking to the walls of the mouth, falling under the tongue, and sticking to teeth grinding. We use our tongues to gather food, form food clumps, and deliver them to the larynx.
What about when we talk?
Lips and tongue cooperate, if the "k" sound is made, we will open our mouths and our tongues will be slightly curled. But if we accidentally press our tongue against our front teeth and pronounce another "k", it will be very close to the sound of "t".
Whether we eat or talk, we can't do without our mouths, and so do our children. Children who do not pronounce clearly or learn to speak late cannot close their mouths, some eat soft food, and chew not enough.
Dr. Zhang Suxiao of the Department of Child Health pointed out that some children missed an important "milestone" in learning to conjure up sound because they added food supplements late or added food supplements too finely, and did not exercise their tongue enough, resulting in incorrect pronunciation, requiring human training and massage to learn correct pronunciation.
In fact, the daily eating process is the basic training of pronunciation.
Every year, a large number of children are treated for ill-spoken children, a very small number of them are due to disease factors, and most of them are healthy children.
The doctor asked the parents about the lifestyle of these children, and found that if these children were too fine in the production of complementary foods, or the complementary foods were added late, the children did not exercise enough for the oral cavity, and missed the important period of learning to compose the sound, resulting in unclear speech.
Your baby's ability to speak and pronounce clearly depends on the movement and functional maturation of the vocal organs.
And "foodie" babies, love food, like to try different foods, many like to eat themselves, nibble and eat.
Their oral exercise is much better than that of children who eat mushy supplementary foods, and with a little guidance, parents can master pronunciation and then learn to speak.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="126" how can > help your child add the right food supplement? </h1>
The main human vocal organs include the lungs, pharynx, and mouth. For children to speak and pronounce themselves clearly, they depend on the movement and functional maturation of the organs.
At every stage of a child's development, language skills are developed and improved.
0 to 6 months of age
At 4-5 months, the child begins to mumble, constantly moving his mouth, trying to make a babbling sound, occasionally making a sound like "baba" or "mama", but it is not clear.
At this stage, parents can try to exercise their child's mouth in preparation for chewing and learning to speak later.
6 to 7 months of age
Children at 6 months old can distinguish their own names, and even the way their relatives speak.
Children will show interest when they see adults eating, and children will also start to teeth, which is the best time to start adding complementary foods, you can eat mushy food.
At this stage, the child tries to use the gum to chew, and the child's chewing ability should be cultivated at this stage.
8 to 9 months old
Children at this stage can pronounce simple syllables and understand some simple language from their families, such as "goodbye" and "hello".
At this stage, the child should be properly introduced to the end and diced foods, and the child's ability to chew and swallow during this period is an improvement over the previous one.
10 to 12 months of age
At this time, the child has grown 4 to 6 teeth, and the chewing ability and oral movements are more coordinated. When your child eats, they will try to crush or bite off food before performing a simple chewing motion.
At this stage, parents can prepare cubes of food or soft rice for their children.
8 months to 12 months of age is the golden period for children to exercise chewing ability, at this stage, to introduce children to easy to grasp, easy to chew "finger food", in order to exercise the baby's chewing ability.
12 months of age or older
After the age of 1, the child is more and more skilled in using his teeth, so that the child can bite and chew more food, so that the child can smoothly switch to the general meal food.
In the process of adding complementary foods, as the child's ability to eat and swallow improves, the nature of the food should also change, from the beginning of breast milk, milk powder liquid to semi-liquid, semi-solid to solid, from a single breast milk, milk to mixed food.
With continuous practice, the child's feeding ability develops from the initial sucking of the nipple to the lips, tongue, teeth, and oral muscles working together to crush, chew, deliver food to the throat, and finally eat the same food as adults.
In addition to complementary foods, correct practice is also very important, and parents often teach their children to make this mistake.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="127" > imitate children's language</h1>
When children learn language, many parents will imitate their children's language, but it is wrong to do so.
Learning a language requires an environment, and an excellent language environment can help children master vocabulary and sentences faster, thereby speeding up children's learning.
Communicating in children's language, although it can promote communication and feelings, it also seems very cute, and interacting with children is actually hindering the development of children's language.
When a child says the wrong syllable and the parents imitate it, it will deepen the child's perception of the error.
In fact, parents should listen carefully to their children's ambiguous pronunciation, give them the right reference, and encourage their children to say more.
Often according to the things and things in life, children carry out "one question and one answer" language practice, insist on repeating every day, let the child learn more phrases, and then continue to accumulate, the child's vocabulary is naturally rich.
Some targeted training methods can also help children learn to speak.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="128" > tongue movements</h1>
For younger children, apply puree or juice around your child's lips and then encourage your child to lick off the puree or juice around the lips with his tongue.
This can fully exercise the child's tongue, increase the flexibility of the tongue, and when the child speaks in the future, the child can put the tongue in an accurate position, and also help the child to keep the pronunciation clear when the speed of speech is fast.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="129" > movable lips</h1>
First we do a demonstration, pretend to be angry and pout, and then let the child touch your pouting lips with a small hand.
Then parents encourage children to imitate, when the child pouts the strength of the lips is not enough, you can pull the child's lips to help the child put the lips in the right position, which plays an important role in the child's correct lip sound.
At the same time, parents can also massage the mouth of their children, thereby reducing the tactile sensitivity of the oral mucosa, enhancing the strength of the oral muscles, and exercising the flexibility of the mouth and tongue.
Children open their mouths, early and late, without being too demanding. In short, giving multiple stimuli is good for the development of children's language.
