When answering the phone, he said in one breath: "Who are you looking for?" Okay, goodbye!"
"Jingle bells..." My phone rang. Without waiting for me to answer, 3-year-old Huan Huan ran over to pick up the phone and said in one breath: "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" Okay, okay, got it, goodbye. “
After speaking, he hung up the phone. "Baby, who called?", Huan Huan said with a smile: "I don't know!" And then I ran to play.
Later, as long as someone at home rang, Huan Huan would run to answer it, saying while running: "I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up!" ”
He picked up the phone and said in a milky voice: "Hey, who are you?" Oh no, goodbye! This series of words made the other party have no time to react, and Huan Huan hung up the phone.
In fact, the child will not really talk to the other party, he will only repeat some of the words of the adult, hang up after speaking, and sometimes even hang up the phone before the other party has spoken.
Many parents will encounter such confusion: children like to rush to answer the phone with themselves, especially when the child has just learned to speak, although sometimes they can't even say a complete sentence, but they especially like to answer the phone.
Why children like to rush to "answer the phone"
When a child is two or three years old, he likes to rush to answer the phone, but he does not listen to what the other party says, but learns the tone of an adult and says in one breath: "Who are you looking for?" Ok bye! He hung up the phone.
This is not naughty children, nor is it a child deliberately playing pranks, don't scold children for "not answering the phone again".
For a 2-year-old child, it is amazing to find that sound can come out of a machine, and whenever he sees his parents talking into the phone.
The voice on the phone stimulates the child's cognition, seduces the child's curiosity, and thus enhances the child's desire to explore!
Slowly the child realized that in addition to the sound of the human body, a machine can also make the sound of a human speech, which made him feel both new and excited, so he became interested in the telephone, and learned to pick up the microphone and say similar things like an adult.
The child rushes to answer the phone and explores himself again and again through imitation of the people around him, which is one of the ways he conducts language exploration.
How parents can guide their children to make and receive calls correctly
The child's behavior of liking to "answer the phone" is a normal manifestation of the sensitive period of language, when we find that the child shows great interest in the phone, we may wish to guide him appropriately and teach him the correct use of the phone.
1. Meet children's curiosity about making and receiving calls
When we call, the child often observes carefully, and sometimes extends his little hand to ask for the phone. In order to satisfy the child's curiosity about the phone, we may as well try to involve him.
Every time I called my father, I called Huan Huan next to him and set the phone to be hands-free, so that the child knew that I was talking to my father, and sometimes he would listen to us very quietly, and sometimes he would shout: "Daddy, goodbye." ”
When talking to my grandmother on the phone, I will encourage Huan Huan to let him say hello to his grandmother, talk into the phone, let the child experience telephone communication and communication together, and satisfy his curiosity about receiving and receiving the phone.
If your child holds a microphone and fiddles with the phone buttons, teach him how to dial and answer, and tell him how to distinguish between a dial tone and a busy tone.
You can also explain to him some principles of telephone, so that children can fully understand that they can communicate with many people through the phone, and satisfy children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
2. Teach children basic telephone language
Since the child likes to answer the phone, you may as well fulfill his wishes, but we need to teach him how to answer the phone, and we need to teach the child some polite words to answer the phone.
When answering the phone, you can first introduce yourself, "Hello, I'm Huan Huan!" And politely ask the other person: "Hello, who are you looking for?" ”
When making a call, ask your child to declare his or her name first. "Hello, I'm Huan Huan, is my uncle (aunt) there?"
If an adult is not at home, you can say, "Dad is not home, is there anything I need to tell me?"
If someone makes a wrong call, say "Sorry, you made a mistake."
When you are ready to hang up the phone, wait for the elders to hang up the phone first, and then hang up yourself.
These basic life knowledge and etiquette can be taught to children when they are interested.
Sometimes it is appropriate to let the child answer the phone independently, explore slowly, let the child exercise himself, and try to let the child answer the phone when the phone rings again.
3. Encourage children to communicate by phone and play "call" with children
When the child likes to answer the phone, we should not blindly stop the child's behavior, but should satisfy the child's curiosity and find time to play "call" with him.
After Huan Huan learned to answer the phone, his father bought him a phone watch, and saved the phone numbers of his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, and grandmother, and encouraged Huan Huan to call by himself.
In the first few days, Huan Huan felt that he had a watch phone, and he called one by one excitedly, grandpa for a while, grandma for a while, ...
"Grandma, I'm Huan Huan, this is my phone number, you must remember it!"
"Grandpa, it's Huan Huan and you on the phone, can you hear what I say?
"Grandma, I have a phone, you can call me."
With the phone calls one by one, Huan Huan gradually mastered the language of receiving and receiving calls in the process of communicating through the "telephone", and the language expression was better exercised.
Children like to answer the phone, which is an important embodiment of behavior imitation and language exploration.
To some extent, the child's behavior shows that it shows that the child has a certain desire to explore, cognition and imitation ability, and is relatively strong.
