Baby's language center needs to develop to a certain extent before they can speak, and many parents believe that the earlier the baby speaks, the faster the baby's development. So, if we start teaching children to speak at a relatively early age, how can we make them speak earlier? Below, the editor will share their thoughts on this issue:
Firstly, the timing of a baby's speech does not necessarily indicate their intelligence. Baby speaking only represents that the language center is more mature, but it does not mean that other aspects are also developing faster. Therefore, the timing of speaking is not directly related to a baby's intellectual development.
Secondly, if parents want their babies to speak early, they can provide language guidance to them. When parents see their babies babbling, they should often tell stories or sing to them face-to-face, allowing them to watch adults speak. Because babies like to imitate, they may quickly learn how to speak. The second is to do pronunciation training. Once a baby learns pronunciation, they are not far from speaking. Therefore, parents should teach their baby pronunciation first.
In addition, parents must be patient because it takes a long time for babies to start babbling and truly speak a complete sentence, at least one and a half years. If parents are too impatient and use inappropriate teaching methods when teaching their children how to speak, it is likely to backfire.
