Children begin to speak their first words at different ages, but regardless of this fact, parents should know some of the developmental development of young children in order to determine the problems and solve them.
Each child is individual and has its own characteristics, both in appearance and development. Some children can say their first words and in one year old, repeating the words and sounds for adults, other kids can start saying something in two years, while pronounce only familiar sounds. But in each case, the child in his endeavors is attempts to copy adults. Gradually, such individual words begin to develop into a combination of phrases.
Parents should know that it is very difficult for the child to master this science, so they should help him, adhering to certain rules. With a small child, you can’t distort and lick words, you need to communicate as well as with adults. It is necessary to speak with the baby in a simple and correct language, since the first words will be spoken from daily communication with dad and mom. It is very important to create a comfortable psychological atmosphere, without screams and scandals – this significantly reduces the risk of stuttering in the future.
Children can pass a little or distort certain sounds to the age of five, so parents should not worry. This is a common phenomenon, but during this period, adults should help the child – you need to communicate more often with your baby, play games, developing speech, read out loud books, teach interesting puzzles and poems. Attention should be paid to ensuring that the results obtained are achieved jointly, and not just the efforts of the pope or mother.
At first, the first slurred words of the child are understood only by his parents, but outsiders in these words only hear a set of sounds. The fact is that dad and mom get used to such words that the baby pronounces, and automatically, heard children’s sounds, translate into words. A common thing when a child during training passes complex consonants in a word or he pronounces hissing heavily. It should be worried when the child regularly replaces the same sounds with completely different. In such a situation, you should contact a speech therapist. Developing toys also help from 6 months to a year.
It is necessary to contact a specialist in speech and when the child changes consonants and loses vowels when pronouncing, when protracted pauses are formed between the syllables, when the speech is very slow or too fast.
