If the baby's development is normal, a little over a year old baby can speak simple words. By the time the baby reaches two or three years old, most words can be spoken. However, in daily life, there are some babies whose parents do not know why they do not speak, and when they reach the appropriate age to speak, the baby does not speak. Parents will be very anxious. So, what is the reason for the child not speaking?
Children who do not speak may be related to psychological factors or developmental disorders. Parents must take their babies to the hospital for relevant examinations and make correct judgments. If the baby does not speak, it may be due to language function development disorders. In this case, the baby can understand what the parents are saying, but due to language development disorders, the baby cannot express themselves clearly or speak unclearly. Over time, the baby is unwilling to speak again.
Hearing developmental disorders can also cause babies to not speak. Parents can observe whether their babies have hearing developmental disorders in their daily lives by calling out their names loudly and observing their reactions. If their reactions are slow or unresponsive, their babies' hearing is definitely abnormal, and hearing developmental disorders can affect their expression.
In addition to developmental disorders that can cause babies to not speak, psychological factors can also lead to babies not being able to speak, which may be related to personality or environment. If it is a psychological problem, it is best to take the baby to see a psychologist and provide psychological counseling under the guidance of a psychologist. Create more time for the baby to be with peers of the same age, make more friends, and slowly help the baby speak.
