How to Help Your Child Start Speaking Faster: Any Parent Can Do It – No Special Education Required
22.10.2024 17:16
If you want your baby to say his first word as soon as possible and start speaking in complete sentences as quickly as possible, you must help him.
The main method you can resort to is to communicate with the baby as often as possible. Talk, and talk emotionally during any “procedure”: feeding, bathing, massage, walking, etc.
Here's what you can use as additional measures.
Develop fine motor skills
Fine motor skills usually include performing small movements with the hands, fingers, and toes. Invite your fidget to play with cereals, buttons, beads, etc. under your supervision. Since the centers of the brain responsible for speech and motor skills are located nearby, the skill of speaking develops faster.
Expand your vocabulary
Show and name everything that surrounds your baby. Try to explain the meaning of objects using simple words - this way your child will quickly expand his knowledge of the world around him, get acquainted with new words and begin to pronounce them.
Don't mangle words and avoid sign language
If your child uses gestures instead of words, pretend you don't understand. Just don't overdo it: crying or hysterics are no good for anyone. Instead, ask leading questions and pronounce words one after another.
Try to avoid using distorted words in your speech - remember, a child learns to speak based on the speech he hears around him.
