If you feel that a child is high time to speak, and he only is silent or babbles - maybe it in one of these common causes.
Let us examine the main reasons why children start to speak later or say bad.
1. Individual characteristics. Most likely, your baby is simply developing at their own pace, which is different from how it happens in other children. And in this case, parents need not worry.
In any case, not "twist the" yourself these comparisons and ask others (usually grandparents) also did not worry at the expense of your child's speech. Explain that you need not to ask again and again, questions like "And what he does not say so far? It is high time. Here you are in this age... And the neighbor children... "and so on - all the time.
However, both gadgets inhibit speech development. They dipped the child in the huge flow of information, which he can not control: the screen flashes constantly all, pictures replace each other, the characters are saying and doing something strange. In addition, it is seen on the screen is not the way we live. So even developing a cartoon that teaches, for example, a polite word or alphabetically, not as useful as it might seem.
Cartoons to bring the child benefit, while viewing them close adult must be present to be with the child verbalize what is happening on the screen, to comment, to explain. To develop the child's speech - it needs to be trained. A look at the screen and say nothing - is the lack of training.
3. Parents undecideds. By virtue of temperament, not every mother is able to serve as "mother-Radio" in communion with the kid: always something to talk, explain, read, sing, etc. Accordingly, if a child hears a little live speech - it is not an example that he would like to emulate, he does not hear the words, does not remember them, and does not attempt to play.
4. Overprotective. If parents anticipate all the desires of the child so that he does not need to ask anything, it is not necessary try to draw attention to themselves, and then speak to anything - after all, so bring everything with everything help. If the skill is no need, and he does not develop. Even if it nastolki important skill as speech. That is, the child understands everything - but it does not say, because there is no need.
What can parents do to encourage speech development of a child?
1. Develop fine motor skills of the child. Scientists have proved that the development of speech depends on the fine motor skills. You can offer your child play with sand, dry cereals and pasta, to touch buttons of small, collect the designer. If the baby does not have three years - all the games with small items should occur only under adult supervision to avoid getting parts in his mouth.
It is also useful to massage the child's fingers with gentle pumping movements to massage each finger on the arms and legs, pat her hands and feet.
2. Talk and read books. Every mother is tired and wants to just shut up sometimes. But still try to find the strength and at least 20-30 minutes a day to give reading with your child, tell him poems, nursery rhymes together review and comment on pictures, to teach poetry and sing songs, simply comment on what's going on while walking on street.
3. Do not leave your child alone for a long time with the gadget. Try as much as possible, to minimize the situation when the child is left alone with cartoons. If the cartoons needed to coax the baby to eat - to tell him about what is happening on the screen if the mouth is not busy eating - ask questions about something related to what they saw.
