In daily life, it is not difficult to find that some children have language barriers. Language disorders not only affect a child's communication and expression, but may also affect their mental, Xi and social skills. So, what are the causes of language impairment in children?
1. Genetic factors
Studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of language disorders. If there is a history of language impairment in the family, the risk of a child developing a language disorder may increase. Therefore, for children with a family history, parents should pay close attention to their language development and intervene and treat them early.
Second, environmental factors
1. Lack of verbal stimulation
During the critical period of a child's language development, the lack of abundant language stimulation can lead to limited development of the child's language ability. For example, parents who do not communicate with their children often, lack of parent-child reading, etc., may affect children's language development.
2. Listening questions
Hearing problems are one of the common causes of speech impairment. If a child has hearing loss or hearing insensitivity, they may not be able to receive and understand language information properly, affecting language development.
3. Abnormal oral motor function
Abnormal oral motor function can lead to problems such as slurred pronunciation and inaccurate articulation. In this case, the child may be ridiculed or misunderstood for not being able to express himself clearly, which can affect his or her self-confidence and social skills.
3. Psychological factors
Psychological factors may also affect a child's language development. For example, mental illnesses such as autism and anxiety can cause a child to have a language disorder. For these conditions, psychotherapy and medication may help relieve your child's symptoms of speech and language disorders.
Fourth, other factors
In addition to the factors mentioned above, some other factors can also contribute to a child's language barrier. For example, suffocation at birth, brain damage, etc., can cause damage to the nervous system, which in turn can affect the child's ability to speak. In addition, a poor language environment, lack of a good language model, etc., may also lead to language disorders in children.
