Children's growth process is a gradual acceptance of external things, and they gradually learn to sit, crawl, speak, walk, and so on. The development of language is also a slow process, from babbling at the beginning to speaking more complex sentences later on. What is the developmental pattern of language in children aged one to three?
What are the developmental patterns of language in children aged one to three?
1. Word sentence stage. 1 to 1.5 years old is the period when young children actively understand language. At this point, although young children may not speak much on their own initiative, their ability to understand adult language develops rapidly. At the beginning, what young children say only has one word, which represents the meaning of a sentence. This type of sentence is often called a word sentence.
2. Simple sentence stage. Children aged 1 and a half to 2 years old can begin to speak simple sentences with complete structure and no modifiers while speaking telegraph sentences. Such as "he felt it" (subject verb sentence), "sister reading" (subject verb object sentence). Two and a half year old children have already started to use a certain number of simple modifiers, such as "two dolls playing with blocks" and "I also want to be promoted to the senior class".
3.Around the age of .3, children have started using complex modifiers such as "the building blocks I play with", "the child handed the pen to the aunt", and "my home is far away".
When is the critical period for children's language development?
It usually takes 3-4 years for children to master language from birth, and the critical period for language development is 2-4 years old. Experts believe that the critical period for understanding language is from 9 months to 24 months (2 years old), and the critical period for developing language expression is from 2 years old to 4 years old. At this time, the language learning effect is the best, and the language habits obtained are the easiest to maintain in the long run.
Before the age of one, babies usually only speak simple words such as' dad 'and' mom ', and only start learning more sentences when they get older. Mothers should also pay attention to the language development of their babies while taking care of them. If there are obvious signs of delayed development, they should take their babies to the hospital for testing and examination as soon as possible.
