In the process of language development, it is estimated that many people have seen such a situation: the child has not spoken when it is time to speak, has begun to speak but has not been able to speak clearly, and the child is stuttering expression as soon as he opens his mouth...
In fact, if the child behaves in such a language, it is collectively referred to as a language disorder. Many of the language problems we are familiar with, such as stuttering, large tongue, language development delay, etc. are language barriers, which are widely present at all stages of children's language development, affecting children's opening and communication.
Be wary of these verbal manifestations of your child
1. Three or four years old is still slow to speak
From the perspective of the law of language development, most children can basically form a relatively perfect language system by the age of three or four, and their expression ability, comprehension ability and thinking ability will have major changes. But for children with language barriers, they may not be able to speak until they are three or four years old, and even if they can speak, their pronunciation is a blur.
2. Stuttering, stuttering, inexplicable interruption of speech status
Many people should have experienced the situation of stumbling when nervous, knowing that it is difficult for people to say a sentence clearly when they are nervous, and even repeat the previous words many times, which greatly affects the language expression. But many people do not know that the problem of stuttering in the language barrier has turned such an embarrassing situation into the daily life of many people, and the result is that even if the face is red, it is impossible to hold out a word.
3. Expressions with unclear pronunciation and inaccurate pronunciation
The two most basic elements of speaking are clarity and accuracy, and neither of them will have an impact on the expression itself. But the children affected by the language barrier have problems with both, their expression is not clear, the pronunciation is not accurate, except for the people close to them who can barely understand what they are saying, others are often confused about what they say.
The above is the possible manifestation of children with language barriers, and parents must be vigilant not to let the problem take root and affect other aspects of the child.
Such children are more likely to develop language barriers
We have to admit that some children are indeed more prone to language barriers. Therefore, let the editor take you to understand these children who are more prone to language barriers.
1. Children who lack the company of their parents and family
The biggest problem with lack of parental company is that children are prone to lack of high-quality language stimulation during language development. Language stimulation we all know is a long-term language information input, is an important support for children's language development. Therefore, children who lack language stimulation often have many language problems, such as language development delay and cognitive dysarthria.
2. Families whose parents are too proactive
Some parents often choose the way of "big package" in the attitude towards their children, such as children want to eat fruit, they do not wait to open their mouths to hand them over; children want to take toys on the table, parents with "eyesight" immediately take them to their children. However, too much initiative seems to help the child, but in fact it deprives the child of the ability to express and understand.
3. Children who learn the language too early or too late
Language learning depends on the child's age and usage to make judgments, for example, one-year-old children must gradually learn to use stacked words, such as "mom" and "dad", and two-year-old children must master about 50 common words. However, if the child learns advanced vocabulary or grammar at the age of one, or does not care what to say at the age of two or three, then parents must be prepared for the child's language disorder.
Home Training or Professional Language Correction?
After the occurrence of language problems, many parents are worried about a problem: if the child has a language problem, will he choose to accompany himself to the home tutor, or send the child to the language institution to do professional correction intervention? In fact, family training and language correction are not a two-or-choice relationship, but a complementary relationship.
The triggers and symptoms of each child's language disorder are different, coupled with individual physical, personality and psychological differences, so the language correction program for each child with language disorder is actually different. Some children tend to correct pronunciation, some children focus on psychological counseling, and some children need to improve executive function first.
For ordinary families, they lack the experience of language guidance for their children, and if the method used is not appropriate, it will be counterproductive, making the child's language problem more serious, and may trigger a series of negative changes in personality and psychology. Therefore, professional work such as language correction is still left to professionals.
Of course, we are not saying that home training is useless, on the contrary, it plays a very effective auxiliary role in the child's language recovery. Because many activities cannot be carried out by language institutions, such as pronunciation consolidation training, pronunciation organ training mini-games, and a considerable part of cognitive improvement, home training and professional correction are indispensable.
