The growth and development of a baby requires a certain process, constantly improving various physical skills from childhood to adulthood. Parents cannot disrupt their babies' growth patterns and should provide corresponding education according to their developmental stages. So, how to teach a one-and-a-half-year-old baby to speak?
Firstly, from birth to one year old, babies are in the language preparation stage. It is important to understand the language development characteristics of babies during this period and respond promptly to their babbling. After two months of birth, babies have already started babbling, and parents should respond immediately. Calling the baby's name, saying "Hello", "What does the baby want to say", "Are you tired"... Responding promptly can make the baby feel the pleasure of speaking and stimulate their desire to speak.
Secondly, create a calm and relaxed atmosphere for conversation, where babies perceive the conversation atmosphere through the tone, speed, facial expressions, and body language of adults. If the tone is gentle and calm, the baby will also be relatively quiet and relaxed; If the person in the conversation is confrontational or even filled with anger and abuse, the baby will experience feelings of fear and irritability, and the language learning atmosphere will become worse.
Finally, teach the baby to speak standard Mandarin. If there are multiple dialects in the family, the baby can actually master them. However, it is recommended that parents teach their babies to speak standard Mandarin. If living in a bilingual family, parents can use their respective languages to communicate more with their babies.
