As parents, we all hope that our babies will grow up healthy, intelligent, and not fall behind in every step of their growth path, especially in today's fiercely competitive society where the demand for education is increasing. The development pace of early childhood education is becoming faster and faster, especially for children's education in all aspects, which is becoming more and more systematic. However, many children lose at the starting line in the early stages due to delayed language development. So, what are the reasons why children speak late?
After the baby turns one year old, they still eat very delicate food: when the baby can eat complementary foods, the mother is afraid of affecting the baby's digestion, so she lets the baby eat soft and delicate food. Little do they know, this is actually not conducive to the development of the baby's oral muscles, leading to unclear speech and delayed speech. It is recommended that mothers first feed their babies delicate foods after they are able to eat complementary foods, and then slowly feed them larger, slightly harder foods to exercise their chewing ability and promote the development of their oral muscles.
When talking to a baby, speaking too fast: Some mothers speak too fast. If the speed is still so fast when talking to the baby, the baby cannot keep up with the mother's pace and cannot answer. Over time, it will make the baby unwilling to speak. So, mothers should slow down their speech when talking to their children, giving them enough time to think and wait for their response.
