Each stage in a child's development is interesting and important in its own way. Parents who devote time to classes with the baby, creating favorable conditions for development, help him to quickly adapt to the world.
The first month of a baby's life is a time that passes almost imperceptibly for young parents. The multitude of new childcare worries consume most of the time. But now the second month has gone - and now the baby requires not only timely care and feeding procedures, but is also actively developing. Among the achievements of the crumbs can be a smile, the ability to hold the head (though only a few seconds so far), and how happy and proud parents are when their child begins to gurgle!
The kid starts to "talk"
Starting to make the first sounds, the child tries to attract the attention of the parents, moves his arms and legs, smiles. Many of today's parents try to carefully monitor that all stages of the baby's development take place on time. This is a very good sign when mental and emotional development is in line with age norms. And if the baby is a little late, attentive parents will be able to help in a timely manner.
If you try to describe the baby's gurgling, it looks something like this: various "o", "y", "a" and combinations of these sounds, pronounced sometimes long, sometimes sharply, sometimes softly, while the baby alternates sounds, tries different options. Then such sounds will form into syllables and whole words.
The needs of babies are still minimal. If the child is well-fed, dry and slept, nothing hurts, he will be active and friendly, inclined to communicate. It is at such moments that the "monologues" begin. If at this time you try to "talk" with the child, making similar sounds, in most cases he begins to listen, and the response vocalizations can become more complicated - this stimulates the development of the vocal apparatus quite well.
Parents usually try to make sure that the child develops in accordance with generally accepted norms. Some try to spur things up a bit and devote a lot of time to activities with the baby.
How can parents stimulate the desire for communication in the baby?
Attentive parents can and should create conditions for communication for a child - meeting his needs on time, stimulating a good mood. As a response, the first gaggle appears, which is very important to encourage: to pronounce sounds after the child, as well as syllables, simple words, to encourage the baby to "answer".
You can try such an exercise as pronouncing words, sounds with enhanced articulation. After a while, the baby tries to focus on these sounds, listen, and then imitate.
Doing small exercises will help your little one learn a new skill faster.
The question of when the baby starts to gag can be answered like this - in the period from 2 to 4 months. By about 6 months, the sounds he utters will become more complex and turn into syllables. And each of these stages in the development of a baby is interesting in its own way.
