The child's brain is a unique system that easily perceives and analyzes any information. During the first years of life, a child masters the most difficult tasks, and the ability to speak is one of them. It is in our power to help him in this, especially since for this you only need to communicate more.
Instructions
Step 1
Talk to your child. Many parents feel insecure when they need to interact with a toddler who is not yet talking. In fact, long before they begin to speak themselves, children perfectly understand the meaning of what is said by intonation and familiar words. In this way, they replenish their passive vocabulary. When communicating with your child, comment on your actions, tell him about everything that surrounds him on the street and at home. Try to speak slowly and clearly, choose simple words and phrases.
Step 2
Play games with sounds. When the baby is just starting to make his first sounds, answer him. Repeat sounds, smile, talk to him - let him feel the pleasure of communication. A variety of children's poems and songs stimulate speech well, as well as games where speech is accompanied by actions, such as "The magpie-crow cooked porridge …", "Let's go, let's go to the forest for nuts …" and many others.
Step 3
Read aloud to your child. Reading aloud helps out parents who find it difficult to talk to their baby. Try to make your reading expressive: depict the voices of different animals, pause, convey the mood with your voice. If the kid is not in the mood to listen for a long time and seeks to turn the page faster, choose books with vivid illustrations and just tell the child what is happening in the pictures. At the same time, try to focus his attention on the image at least for a short while, point your finger at what you are talking about.
Step 4
When your baby starts talking, support him in this. React to his words, try to understand what he is saying. As a rule, parents who spend a lot of time with their child, after 2-3 weeks of communication, begin to understand the baby, even if he speaks rather incomprehensibly.
Step 5
Be patient. All children develop in their own rhythm, and many accumulate vocabulary for a long time before starting to speak. If something bothers you, consult with your doctor, but just do not create unhealthy excitement around this visit.
