The growth and changes of a baby are gradually manifested, such as a simple turning over. At birth, parents may find that their baby has learned to turn over at some point. Although learning things takes time, there is no rush. But it's not okay if it's too late. So, at what age is it normal for a child to speak?
If a baby can organize vocabulary and speak a relatively complete sentence on their own, then it takes around one year old for the baby to achieve this, so speaking at one year old is considered normal. But it cannot be ruled out that some babies may be a little later. If the baby cannot speak at the age of one and a half, then they need to go to the hospital for a check-up. In fact, if parents observe carefully, they will find that babies will start to use simple vocabulary at 4 months old, gradually increase their vocabulary, and finally learn to speak. So what can parents do when their baby is learning to speak?
1. Encourage babies to speak up more often
Parents can communicate more with their babies, such as teaching them to read vocabulary and reading stories from books. When babies try to read words, encourage them to speak up and give them more affirmation.
2. Stimulate the baby's interest in speaking
Teasing the baby with things that they are interested in, so that the baby learns to ask their parents for them. This way, the baby can clearly know that as long as they can speak, they can get what they want.
