Is this idiom familiar to everyone, but if this idiom is used for our children, is it appropriate? We met such a little friend when we were receiving a consultation. 3 and a half years old, a very cute little boy, can probably speak about 10 words, such as "daddy, mommy, want" and so on.
Mother said that in fact, when the child was 2 years old, he found that the child could not understand the instructions, and could not speak, at that time the mother was very worried, wanted to take the child to the hospital to see a pediatrician, but many kind friends or the elderly around will persuade the mother to say "the child is still small, since ancient times is the noble language late, is the mother is too nervous, worried about the sky." Mom also had many arguments with her family about taking her child to the hospital to see a pediatrician. This also happens all around us.
There is a scene where a three-and-a-half-year-old child has entered the kindergarten stage, and every time his parents pick up the children from kindergarten after school, it is a bustling and chattering sound. Why? Children are very willing to share what happened to the child in kindergarten, what happy or unhappy things he encountered with his parents, many parents of children around 3 years old will have feelings, at that time the child is simply a small talk, will always be around you to keep saying, because the child wants to express his feelings. Therefore, when we find that when the child reaches the age of 3 and a half, if the child cannot speak sentences coherently or express his own thoughts, parents must pay attention.
The language skills of 3-year-olds have been able to predict a child's reading ability after primary school. This is also the documentary "I Am Not a Stupid Child" several children, are in the third grade of primary school, and the reading ability of children around the third grade of primary school can predict children's future achievements, employment situation and contribution to society. That is to say, children who are about 3 years old with backward language skills will perform poorly in their reading ability in the third grade and their social skills when they grow up. This means that the "late speech of nobles" mentioned in the old concept will not be a universal law but only a special case.
Most children with language delays need professional parent training and our language rehabilitation treatment to maximize the development of language skills, so that children can improve their future schooling and employability. Before a child is diagnosed with simple language development delay or developmental disorder, it is also crucial to have a child receive language therapy as soon as possible, and the assessment of language proficiency is also key before language therapy is performed. A professional assessment will help your child develop competencies that meet your child's current stage, so that you can improve your language skills as quickly as possible.
Therefore, "the noble person is late" is not a reasonable explanation for the child to speak late. Parents should not listen to these so-called old sayings and harm their children!
