It is believed that the development of speech is directly related to the mental development of the child. The later and worse the child speaks, the more difficult it will be for him to perceive the world and cognize it, and therefore it is necessary not only to learn letters and pronounce sounds correctly, but also to enrich vocabulary, to be able to replace and change words.
Instructions
Step 1
As scientists and doctors have established, the child already hears while in the womb, therefore the first rule to stimulate the development of the baby's speech is obvious: it is necessary to constantly talk to him from the first days of the child's life, clearly pronouncing the words. When the baby is six months old, you can start showing him various objects and toys, clearly pronouncing their names. Of course, the child will not be able to immediately reproduce these names, but a certain vocabulary will accumulate in his memory.
Step 2
Any action performed with the baby, be it washing, feeding, and the like, should be spoken out by the mother and accompanied by simple words. For example, "top-top" and "yum-yum".
Step 3
Fine motor skills of fingers and pronunciation of words are well developed by games such as "The mouse cooked porridge" or "Okay". It has been proven that the development of fine motor skills stimulates the speech center. Therefore, play with children more often, let's touch objects of different shapes, textures and temperatures. There are now many games and toys available to help you diversify your exercise. Many people prefer to use objects such as buttons and beads for this, but the baby can swallow them, so the baby should be under the constant and vigilant supervision of the mother.
Step 4
Every day, at least half an hour should be devoted to talking with the baby. Ask leading questions in determining the name of an object or toy. All this must be done with great care and patience. Patience and regularity are the first assistants in the development of a child's speech.
Step 5
If the mother notices that the child understands, but finds it difficult to speak, then special exercises should be used to help master the baby's spoken language. This can be any game available, but if the mother sees that the child has lost interest, he should switch his attention to another game or activity.
Step 6
The first children's books with bright illustrations can be a good help in mastering spoken language. When showing a child a picture, you do not need to make sure that he utters the word "cow" or "goose", it is enough if the child at first simply points to the picture and meaningfully pronounces "mu-mu" or "ha-ha".
Step 7
If the child has a persistent unwillingness to speak, you should contact a speech therapist. The doctor will diagnose, if there are violations of the physiology of development, he will probably prescribe medication and massage, in case of mental deviation or depression of the speech center, you will need to start regular classes at the medical facility. If the reason is behavioral, you will have to patiently and monotonously return again and again to games for the development of speech, exercises for the tongue and other exercises.
