The kid has grown up, he enjoys playing with toys, loves to watch cartoons, crawls quickly and tries to walk. At this time, the parents are interested in the main question, when will he speak.
When children start talking
Most children pronounce their first meaningful sounds by the age of one. It is considered normal if a child speaks from two to ten words per year. But all children are different both in ability and character. For example, a friendly outgoing baby wants to communicate, so he will speak much earlier. A calmer and more judicious person is in no hurry to start talking, he watches with great pleasure what is happening around him. He likes to play on his own and has little interest in conversations. Such a baby will speak later, only after he has a desire to express his thoughts. Most often, by the age of three, children speak more or less clearly. But even if by this age the child is silent, this does not mean that he is lagging behind in development, but it is still worth consulting with a psychologist.
It has been noticed that girls start talking earlier than boys. When children start talking, a lot depends on the parents, the situation in the family and the attitude of adults to the baby. The tense atmosphere in the family, frequent quarrels between parents, high-pitched conversations or a complete lack of attention to the child will, rather, cause a desire not to talk, but to cry and be capricious. Some parents communicate little with each other or with the baby, therefore, without feeling attention, he does not seek to communicate and closes himself in his little world.
It happens that parents talk too much with the baby, often commanding him or not stifling the opportunity to take the initiative. Such a child develops a feeling of awkwardness in the presence of adults; in this case, the child's desire to talk is unlikely to appear. In addition, children who are overprotected by their parents start talking late, trying to predict all his desires. Such actions lead to the fact that he does not need to take the initiative, and, moreover, to speak.
How to quickly teach a child to talk
First of all, the parents must have a warm and friendly relationship with the child. It is necessary to talk more, read books to him, followed by an accessible discussion, sing songs, play exciting games. You need to make the baby want to say something, ask him more questions while walking down the street, show him various objects, naming them, let the child repeat after you. You need to speak with a baby correctly - clearly, understandably, briefly.
It is very useful to massage children's fingers. They have a huge number of nerve endings, so such procedures help to develop the child's abilities, thanks to which he begins to speak earlier. Finger games for children perform the same function. With a child one and a half years old, you can try to play role-playing games. For example, you can replay a conversation between two animals.
Children need support, so if you want the baby to speak faster, try to encourage him in every possible way, push him to dialogue. Try to make the child as often as possible have feelings of happiness, delight, which he would like to express in words.
