Difficulties in mastering speech are found in many children. When the baby says the first words, mumbling in his own invented language, parents begin to worry about the development of his speech. How to teach a kid to speak clearly for everyone?
Instructions
Step 1
Don't worry: most children talk in their own language before they can speak well. Remember, on time or with a delay, all the stages of the formation of speech in your baby went through (humming, babbling, the appearance of the first words and phrases). Maybe it is difficult for him to chew solid food, his speech is indistinct, the crumb “crumples” words and phrases, or does he have “porridge in his mouth”? These symptoms should alert you.
Step 2
To determine whether the impaired development of the baby's speech is associated with any mental and physical health disorders, be sure to go to an appointment with a speech therapist, child psychologist and neuropathologist. Experts will help determine the problem and, if necessary, prescribe a certain set of measures that will help the baby catch up with his peers. Don't expect the situation to improve by itself. Remember that the result will be more successful if you start the correction earlier. Pronunciation defects that are not eliminated in time will lead to difficulties in learning at school, psychological problems in the child.
Step 3
Regardless of the conclusions made by doctors, try to follow these important rules. When communicating with your child, watch your own speech: let it be correct, clear and beautiful. Use simple phrases - if your speech is very difficult, the baby will simply feel that he cannot keep up with you. Do not "get stuck" for a long time on a lightweight, babbling speech when communicating with a baby.
Step 4
When pronouncing the words, articulate clearly so that the baby can see how to pronounce this or that word, sound, so that he can imitate you. Sit on one level with your child and speak looking into his eyes. When the little one tries to say something, support him: “Yes, this is a car. A car.
Step 5
Cheat a little: for example, do not rush to understand the kid perfectly. Pretend you don't understand what he wants until the child asks for it more clearly.
Step 6
Read more to the baby, sing songs. Develop his understanding of speech (passive vocabulary). When talking with a baby, name all objects at home and on the street. If a child recognizes a large number of objects around him and points at them with his finger, then sooner or later he will speak well himself.
