The babbling of a tiny baby evokes delight and emotion, because it is so touching. However, if a grown-up child, who has already learned to walk and play confidently, is still babbling, this is no longer touching, but alarming: is everything all right with him, are there any delays in his development? Therefore, it is better for parents of a child not to rely on the fact that their baby will sooner or later speak himself, but to teach him to speak. Moreover, the learning process will give them a lot of positive emotions.
What to do to make the child speak
Talk to your child as often and kindly as possible. Some parents are sure that a tiny baby does not understand anything. But this is a mistake! The kid very quickly begins not only to recognize the voices of loved ones, but also to understand their intonation. Therefore, try to talk to your child more often, using a calm, friendly tone. For example, a woman is preparing to feed a baby. She should say: “Who is going to eat with us now? Who will get mom's milk? Kolenka! " If a small child is already out of infancy and can understand the meaning of what is happening, you need to comment on your actions: “Here mom warmed up a jar of puree. Now mom scoops up the puree with a spoon, brings it to Helen's mouth. Well, Helen, eat! " Speak the words clearly and slowly while facing your child so they can see your articulation.
The more often you do this, the sooner the child will have a desire to speak, imitating adults.
Speaking practice for a child
Teach your child following the rule: "From simple to complex." Tell your baby nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and when he grows up, read them out loud to him, showing illustrations. Explain to your child what is shown in the book. Thus, you will help him enrich his vocabulary and take the first steps towards the formation of his imaginative thinking.
Gradually replace simpler texts with more complex ones.
On walks, comment on your surroundings. For example: “A big car is driving down the street! Look, she's turning the corner! " Or: "Here is a dog on a leash." Pay also the child's attention to oppositions. For example, "the car is standing" - "aunty is coming" or "big tree" - "small flower".
Try to gradually give objects more accurate, figurative characteristics. For example, if leaves fall in autumn, draw the child's attention to their color, size, shape. If you are walking on a fine summer day, tell your child that the sun is bright and warm.
When, thanks to such efforts, the baby's vocabulary is already large enough, start playing with him with words, inviting him to repeat them after you. Or invite your child to name an object. In no case do not force him and do not show impatience, discontent. The child will start talking as soon as he wants it, and not when you want it.
