The development of speech in a child, although a natural process, can proceed more actively with help, so to speak, from the outside.
Here's what parents should do if they want their baby to start talking sooner.
Do not restrict the child's freedom of movement
Gross and then fine motor skills form the basis for brain development.
If your child is active and frequently moving, exploring the world around him, he will almost certainly start talking sooner and faster than a child who spent most of his childhood in a stroller or high chair.
Speak out loud
Children learn from the example of adults, and who said that speech skills are an exception to the rule?
If you have no one to talk to, no problem: talk to yourself in front of your baby. The more often your child hears your voice, the faster his speech will develop and his vocabulary will expand.
Don't "coo"
We agree that speaking in “adult” words when you have a little one in front of you can be very difficult, but you should control yourself and not allow yourself to distort words.
The child will do this without you - due to the insufficiently developed speech apparatus. The task of adults is to teach the child to pronounce words the way they should sound.
Previously, we named products that destroy children's mental health.
