At the age of 1.5, he would only call his mother
Colleague Su Sujia Erbao is 1 and a half years old, and now he will only be called "Mother", and the others will be replaced by "ah-ah". But Su Su was not in a hurry at all, because the old man said: Noble people are late in speaking, and babies who speak late are smarter!
I asked Su Su, is the boss talking late? She said: The boss also spoke late, and he started speaking at the age of 2. She said indifferently: You see my boss is talking very well now.
Yes, there is a lesson from the past, no wonder this is not in a hurry at all.
However, after communicating with her boss, although the communication was barrier-free, it was still obvious that the baby's expression ability was a little lacking, and the words were relatively scarce.
The argument that "nobles speak late" is often mentioned, and many elderly people insist that "children who speak late are smarter.". But is this really good for the kids? not necessarily!
There is a famous intellectual strength scale, the "Merriam-Webster Intelligence Scale", which divides intelligence into two parts: verbal IQ and operational IQ, and emphasizes that both are equally important to the measurer. This means that a child's language expression ability is an important part of intelligence, and its strength will affect the child's intellectual strength table.
Developing language skills before the age of 3 is key
Needless to say, the importance of language expression is as small as daily communication, to various reports, project negotiations, even if it is a child's class committee election, the result of the difference in expression ability will also be different.
Some people take millions of orders in minutes because of their ability to express themselves, and some people can't even make a simple self-introduction logical.
Some children can not only clearly indicate their needs, but also persuade adults to listen to him; some children cannot even understand the complete sentence.
It is conceivable that the expression ability is different, and the experience gap will be big!
"One person's words are heavier than the treasure of the Nine Dings, and three inches of tongue are stronger than a million male masters", this is the most straightforward affirmation of the "Warring States Policy" for language expression.
Language expression ability is the core competitiveness, if we can strengthen the child's language expression ability from an early age, why do we need to wait for the child to "speak late"?
Cultivating the baby's expression ability is the key before the age of 3, and brain neurologists have found through data that the newborn brain weight is only 390g, and by the age of 3, the brain weight has reached 1000g, reaching 85% of the adult development rate, which means that the child's brain will quickly complete the reserve of basic skills before the age of 3.
The "Broca District" is the language center of the brain, and it develops rapidly during this time. The main function of this area is to coordinate the child's pronunciation program, help the child master the grammatical structure of the language, and let the child have the motivation and desire to speak.
Once the child's Broca district does not develop during the critical period, or if it is traumatized by accident, it is likely to cause: motor aphasia. Such children have no problem reading and writing, but they cannot accurately express their ideas and cannot use complex syntax and lexicals.
I often hear parents complain that the child's composition level is a mess, and the preface does not match the afterword, which is likely to be caused by the poor development of the Broca district when he was a child.
So, how to cultivate children's expression skills?
The answer is simple, grasping the sensitive period will allow the language center to develop as much as possible.
0~9 months:
Many parents believe that babies from 0 to 9 months old do not understand anything, and it will be better to communicate when the child is older. This makes parents waste their baby's initial curiosity about language!
Babies under 9 months of age, although children can not say meaningful words and sentences, their awareness of language has long begun.
Psychologist Piaget refers to the period of 0 to 2 years old as the "perceptual motor stage". At this time, all the children's cognition of the outside world begins with the perception of perception, and the use of perception can quickly exercise language.
For example, parents of 0 to 9 months can continue to speak and sing to their children, and children will promote the development of language centers through hearing, seeing, and touching, and accelerate the connection between neurons.
9 to 13 months
At this stage, children begin to try to imitate, and can send out some "telegram language", such as: "Mom~", "drink", "play", etc., at this time, the most important thing parents should do is to respond positively to the child's "telegram language".
When a child says, "Eat," you can translate, "Baby wants to suckle, right?" ”
"You want your mom to hang out with you, right?" ”
Behavioral researchers in children have found that active translation promotes earlier occurrences of a baby's "vocabulary explosion."
In addition, at this time, you can read some simple picture books to your children, such as: I read language enlightenment picture books to Yumi for a while. Obviously, Yumi felt that she had opened her mouth to express her needs, and she would say "Mom~ hug ~".
13 to 20 months
This time is the "golden 8 months" of baby language learning. You will find that there will be an outbreak of your baby's vocabulary during this period.
At this stage, the training of expression ability should start from the "now", that is, from what is being done at hand. For example, if a child plays with a ball, you can tell him that it is a ball. Starting from what you are doing, teaching relevant vocabulary will make your baby quickly associate and accelerate learning.
In addition, parents should talk to their children as much as possible and give them a sense of "dialogue". Let your child know that the conversation is, "You're done, I'll continue", which will make your baby know how to listen attentively. You can simulate a "multi-scenario" conversation with your child.
Many parents teach their children to speak from "dad" and "mom", but they don't know how to do it. "Teaching" in this way can easily cause children to learn words but will not use them.
The best way is to bring the child to a scene and let the child learn. For example, play hide-and-seek with your child, tell your child that this is peek-a-boo, and the rules of the language, and so on.
From 20 to 36 months, this stage can be a large number of picture books.
The survey found that the best way to help children improve their language skills is: parents accompany their children to read picture books together!
Dr. Crane and Dale visited a large number of preschool children in the United States and found that children aged 1 to 3 who often read together with parents and children will develop language skills beyond ordinary children at the age of 2-5, and reading comprehension will be more prominent after the age of 7.
Yumi read a picture book for 2 months when she was 2 years old, and she obviously felt that the child's "desire to express" had risen, and the complete sentence was completely out of the question. Therefore, if you want the baby to open her mouth early and speak clearly, parents must seize the golden period of their children's language development (0-3 years old).
Of course, some parents like all kinds of enlightenment apps, but I personally strongly don't recommend this way. Because psychologists have found that children's language skills need to be improved in use. Simply listening to it does not help the child's expression in the slightest.
American psychologist Schiff found that even if parents are deaf and mute, as long as the child has a normal voice and spends 5 to 10 hours a week communicating with people, the child can speak normally.
Therefore, if you have the conditions, it is recommended to read language enlightenment picture books to your children.
