Four years old is a time for everyone to remember. In our memory, at the age of four, we played freely, without the slightest trouble all day, and all that remained in our eyes was the toys in front of us and the friends next to us.
However, behind most people's hilarity and joy, there are still a group of children, they still can't communicate, even if they want to find someone to play with, no one wants to play with them. Whenever they see the children running and chasing outside through the window, they often feel depressed and uncomfortable inside, because they also want to go out and play together!
However, their language skills are too poor, not to mention playing with those children, even communicating with their families is extremely "clumsy".
In life, there are more and more such children
It may be hard to believe, but there are many such children in our lives, their understanding of language is very poor, they have almost lost the ability to communicate with people normally, and their response is also somewhat sluggish and procrastinating compared to normal children.
What should have been a simple way to talk and communicate has become so difficult for them to ascend to the heavens, so many children have given up the desire to talk and communicate with others and choose to stay alone. Over time, not only have they lost the ability to communicate, but their personalities have become more and more pessimistic.
As the characteristics of children who cannot communicate and cannot speak are highlighted little by little, many parents gradually discover the abnormal aspects of their children, and they want to take their children to check and see what problems affect their children's language. However, the old man in the family warned them not to interfere with the child's language growth casually, so let him develop freely, and the child is now called "noble language late", and there will be a big difference in the future.
At first glance, the old people's remarks sound a little reasonable, because the development of children's language cannot be overly interfered with. However, can these problems in children really be called "noble people are late"? In fact, for a child around four years old, not being able to speak means a language barrier.
These factors may cause a child to be unable to speak at the age of four
In fact, the reason why many children with language delays are slow to have language skills is inextricably linked to their family factors. Therefore, parents must pay attention to these things.
1. Bilingual education/ complex languages should be reduced
Nowadays, many parents will take their children to learn bilingualism when they are two or three years old, and they hope that their children will become gifted children who can master multiple languages in the future. Bilingualism does enhance the child's intelligence and language expression ability to a certain extent, but if the language switch is very frequent, it will make the child's language system chaotic, and he does not know which language to say is correct.
After all, a child who is not even fully familiar with his native language will only confuse him, especially children in the imitation period (two years old), who greedily absorb all kinds of logical and connected words and words in the surrounding environment. If a new language is inserted at this time, it will directly disrupt the child's mastery of the original language.
2. Family coddling
In fact, the "doting" of parents and family members on their children is also one of the main reasons for the emergence of language development delays. Some people may wonder, although "coddling" will lead to the child's personality and temper is not very good, how can it also affect the child's speech pronunciation?
Don't be confused, this is actually quite normal. Most children's pronunciation before the age of three comes mainly from their parents' families, who have a low utilization of sounds in their surroundings and need parental instruction to slowly understand. But if parents just blindly spoil their children, but lack communication with him, over time, the development of language will naturally lag behind.
Four-year-olds can't talk, and families need to pay more attention
Whether from the perspective of linguistics or pedagogy, four years old is always an important stage of children's language growth, which is related to whether children's language ability can form their own systems, habits and ways.
However, the wrong parenting style, ignored language problems, and frequent interference factors all make children's language not get a complete, excellent and stable growth environment. The child seems to have grown up healthy, but his language does not know where to lose.
Language pathologist Joe Lucas points out that in the family, a child will have a good environment for language growth. But at the same time, the situation of family problems is full of problems, but children's language encounters many unknown risks, and some well-known language problems appear in our lives so easily.
Therefore, if parents find language anomalies in the process of their children's growth, we must pay attention to them at this time, otherwise language problems are likely to become a shadow that affects children's lives. Even if it is timely correction and recovery, it will have a certain impact on the child's future.
