After dinner yesterday afternoon, I went to the square to watch the aunts dance. There were many people in the square, and many aunts brought their grandchildren to play. While the aunts were dancing, a group of children were playing wildly next to them. The children had a lot of fun, but one of the children didn't seem to speak much, and it was obvious that his speech was not clear enough. The children playing with him couldn't hear what he said clearly. Later, these children gradually I stopped playing with this child until the square dance was over and the aunts each took their children home. The problem of children's language development is a very common and critical issue.
The development of children's language ability will also affect the development of children's cognitive functions, including thinking and memory, and more importantly, will affect children's social interactions. Children have been in a rich social situation since they were born. After entering kindergarten, they face a larger social situation. Good language development of children will naturally bring great convenience to the children's interactions with parents, teachers or classmates. , on the contrary, if the child's language development is slow or lagging behind, the child will not be good at expressing himself socially and in other aspects. This will not only have an impact on the child's social interaction, but also have a great impact on the development of the child's own psychological self-confidence and self-efficacy. Influence. According to the professional "S-S Language Delay Method" scale, when the language ability of a 3-year-old child is compared with the national norm, a child with the following performance can be temporarily said to be delayed in language development.
1. Multi-syllable words and simple sentences are not often spoken
For example, words such as "apple" and "peanut" are rarely spoken, and simple sentences are rarely spoken. For example: "I want to hug?" or "I want to eat this?" etc. If the child has the above performance at this stage, then it can be initially said that the child's language development is lagging
2. Poor language fluency and clarity , parents can hardly hear or understand what their children are saying
If at this stage, when a child speaks a simple sentence or a compound sentence, he still says one word and then speaks it after a few seconds, the fluency is poor, or the child is If the pronunciation is unclear and difficult for people around to understand, then it can be initially said that the child's language development is lagging behind.
When we find that our children’s language development is not good, as parents we must promptly practice or intervene with our children. Children of this age have very strong plasticity in their abilities. As long as we start in time, our children’s language will improve immediately. Developed, here are several professional, simple and practical principles and methods. As parents, if we follow the following methods, our children's language will definitely improve greatly in the short term.
1. Create a sufficient and relaxed language learning environment for children
Many children’s language development is not good because parents have less language input to their children at this stage, and the children If you can't hear a lot of language, you won't be able to learn the language, so the child's language development will lag behind. Therefore, parents can talk to their children more after school or when the children are at home. Even if the children don't respond, it's okay. It's okay. Play some useful videos and audios to put the children in an environment with a lot of language. Parents should try not to use too many gestures on their children and use more language expressions.
2. Don’t correct the child’s pronunciation first, let the child start to express a lot first
As parents, we see that the child speaks less and unclearly. Of course we are anxious. When the child cannot speak clearly, we are anxious. When it becomes clear, we will correct it immediately. Every correction will not make the child speak clearly, but will damage the child's self-confidence in speaking, making the child gradually dare not speak. Therefore, we don’t have to rush to correct the child’s pronunciation at this time. We can first talk to the child or watch TV or read picture books with the child, etc., so that the child can start to express a lot without being afraid that you will correct him. Then, as the child speaks his own language With the improvement and development of the system, the child's speech intelligibility will naturally gradually improve.
0-3 years old is a critical period for children’s language development. Children’s language development is not good at this time. As parents, we don’t have to worry very much at this time, because children are young and have strong plasticity. As long as we master the correct Methods and principles are used to patiently improve the child's language ability. Then the child's language development will definitely improve in the short term. Coupled with the child's own internal language development, the child's language ability should be no problem.
