Every child is born without the ability to speak, and there is only one way of expression, which is crying. Usually, babies start learning to speak around the age of one. At this time, parents can encourage and guide their children to master the language faster. So, how to teach babies to speak?
When a baby unintentionally uses words to express their thoughts, parents should encourage and support them more, which can help the child build confidence. It is important to encourage the baby to use language instead of crying and gestures. To help children understand the people and things around them, and to provide explanations, as long as the baby is constantly in a language environment, it is very beneficial for learning to speak.
Encourage children to express themselves in spoken language in daily life, and parents should teach them some simple vocabulary instead of pointing to the refrigerator when their baby wants to eat. Every time a child uses vocabulary to express themselves, regardless of whether their pronunciation is standard or not, they should be encouraged because it is a good improvement.
When a child wants something or wants to do something, parents should not immediately satisfy their child's wishes, but wait for a while. For example, if a child wants a bottle, don't rush to bring it over. At this time, the child will have a stronger desire to express themselves because they are eager to achieve their intention. Taking this opportunity to teach the child how to speak is the best time.
