Many friends who have just become new parents are very eager to know when their babies can speak normally, because for new parents, they can't wait to have language communication with their babies. So, how long does it take for babies to speak normally?
At around 4-5 months old, babies can say simple words such as "dad" and "mom", but at this time, they do not understand what "dad" and "mom" mean. When babies are around 6-9 months old, their imitation ability is relatively strong, and they can imitate the tone and tone of adults' speech. At this time, it is important to encourage babies to speak more in order to exercise their speaking ability.
If a baby talks late, parents and friends need to pay enough attention. Some babies speak late, which is often related to hearing impairment, so the possibility of hearing impairment should be ruled out. If a baby has intellectual or social problems, it can also easily lead to speaking late. In addition, a lack of language learning environment can also cause infants to speak late. In response to this situation, parents should spend more time communicating with their infants in terms of language.
Parents and friends should encourage babies to practice pronunciation when teaching them to speak, allowing them to imitate adults' speech and use body movements or gestures to help them better understand simple instructions such as raising their hand, nodding, shaking their head, etc. During this process, parents and friends must be patient and not beat or scold the baby.
