A kid who is not yet three years old can very often only be understood by parents. There are children who speak well at the age of one and a half to two years, use dozens of words in speech, and their "non-speaking" peers also understand many words, but in speech they use only 10-15 of the most necessary ones, supplementing them with facial expressions and gestures. Often the parents themselves are the cause of a child's laziness to speak. To help your child speak, there are some tips to keep in mind.
Instructions
Step 1
Create an environment that encourages the child to talk
Pretend you don’t hear, don’t understand the child, ask him again, or do something else that he doesn’t ask for. This will force the child to use words that the parents can understand.
Step 2
Expand your vocabulary.
Talk to your child in a normal tone, with complex sentences, comment and explain your actions. Don't oversimplify your speech. The more words a child constantly hears, the more actively his passive vocabulary is formed - the number of those words and phrases that he understands, although he himself does not pronounce them.
Step 3
Don't lecture your kid
Even a child who speaks well does not understand everything he hears. Do not ask your child to understand what he is not yet "mature enough", do not be angry that he does not have the patience to listen to your lectures. The kid can repeat your instructions verbatim, without understanding anything, he, like a parrot, will only reproduce your words.
Step 4
Always speak correctly
Do not use "childish language" yourself, speaking in a childlike manner, you complicate the child's mastering of speech and slow down the formation of the correct pronunciation of words. He will have to relearn, and this is a long and difficult process. Do not tug or correct your baby every time he mispronounces words, so as not to discourage him from speaking. Speak correctly yourself, and gradually the baby will learn to speak correctly. The child needs to stimulate the desire not just to speak, but to communicate, to build a dialogue.
