Baby language training
9-12 months old babies like to mutter to themselves, sometimes they will utter some single words or words, and will say a sentence consisting of 2 to 3 words, but they are vague, so they often say something difficult to understand . At the same time, babies like to imitate the actions of adults during this period, such as waving "goodbye", clapping "welcome" and so on. Experts tell us that from the perspective of the baby's language characteristics in this period, this is a critical period for the baby's language development. At this time, the baby's language ability needs to be fully developed and cultivated. Therefore, the new mother can take advantage of the baby’s imitating characteristics and take the opportunity to teach him various words that match the gestures. Practice a few more times, and the baby will remember it soon.
In fact, cultivating your baby's language ability can capture every detail in life and talk to him more. The content of the conversation is best closely related to the baby's life and is the most familiar thing and thing. For example, when you dress your baby, you can tell him what you are doing so that he understands what your action is, so that the baby can increase his ability to understand language. People say that "the eyes are the windows of the soul", so when communicating with the baby, the new mother should communicate with the baby more. And through the kind eyes of the new mother, the baby can gain self-confidence; listening to the new mother's voice and seeing the familiar expressions can lay a good foundation for the baby to "speak".
Cultivate your baby's language ability as the baby grows up, and adopt appropriate methods, especially when talking with your baby, you must first follow the content of your baby's words. When interacting with their babies, many new mothers have never thought of letting them speak with their babies, but are always used to letting their babies speak with them. In this regard, if you can occasionally follow the content of your baby's words, the effect will be much better than blindly complimenting the baby. Because this is a recognition for the baby, the little guy will have a sense of accomplishment from this, which greatly encourages his expression of language.
Secondly, we must cleverly guide the baby to talk about the content. Attentive new mothers will find that the baby is often absent-minded in speaking. For example, although he is talking about an apple, he is thinking of something else. This kind of inconcentration will affect his ability to speak. Therefore, you should promptly give guidance after discovering this situation of your baby. For example, when your baby says "apple", you should immediately take his words and say, "Apples are delicious, and mom will give you an apple to eat." , And really peeled an apple for him after speaking. In this way, in addition to helping the baby to concentrate, it can also expand the baby's memory and use of language.
Also respect the baby fully. As a new mother, you must respect your baby’s feelings when talking to your baby. Don’t say things that make your baby sad.
