By the age of eight months or one year, babies can gradually understand adults' speech, understand the different names of family members, and gradually imitate some simple words. At this point, parents and family members need to find suitable training methods to guide the baby to speak, so that the baby can gradually master the language. So, what are the language training methods?
What are the methods of language training?
1. Guide the baby to stretch out their arms and find someone to hold them. The baby should use body language to indicate that they want to find their parents, or when the baby is crying, the parents should open their arms and say "Baby looking for Mom" or "Mom holding" to lift the baby up.
2. Guide the baby to reach out and take the toy: Use the baby's favorite toy to lure the baby to reach out and take the toy. Parents can encourage their babies to "hold toys" while holding their hands and guiding them to reach for the toys.
3.In front of the big mirror, put a hat on him and say 'hat', play for a while, take off the hat and put on another one, and say 'hat'. By analogy, it gradually made him understand that although these things were different in size, shape, and color, they were all hats that could be worn on the head.
4. Guide the baby to reach out and point at objects: Parents use various opportunities to train the baby, such as when the father is teasing the baby, the mother lightly lifts the baby's hand and points it in the direction of the father while saying, "Baby, this is the father. By analogy, get to know the people in your family, such as "grandpa", "grandma", "sister", and "brother".
How to guide parents correctly when training their baby's language
1. Parents should record the baby's common pronunciation and guide them at various opportunities to associate it with someone or something. For example, if a baby often pronounces the sound "ba ba", they should encourage the baby to have more contact with their father and connect the sound of "ba" with their father as early as possible to understand the meaning of the word "dad".
2. Effectively using "child language" is beneficial for infants to imitate pronunciation. At around one and a half years old, it is important to reduce or prohibit the use of "child language" as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the development of the baby's language and personality.
3. After the baby understands the first word or sentence, parents should strengthen it in a timely manner to consolidate it, which is conducive to future expansion and transfer. After the baby understands the meaning of "goodbye", parents can induce their father to leave and say "goodbye to father", and their mother to leave and say "goodbye to mother". Repeating multiple times a day is beneficial for the development of infants' language comprehension ability and lays the foundation for future understanding of new words.
The above are the language training methods and precautions for babies that we have shared with you. In summary, the process of babies learning language requires guidance from parents, and they must have enough patience to repeatedly teach and memorize the meanings of words. Only then can babies master the language more quickly.
