Babies can speak slowly from the age of one, and at this stage, they particularly enjoy speaking. Even if you stutter, you still enjoy communicating with people around you, and even if you're alone, you can talk to yourself all day. Some parents are very envious because their children are two years old but don't like to talk. What if a two-year-old baby doesn't like to talk?
What should I do if a two-year-old baby doesn't like to talk
1. Regularly encourage and praise children to build their confidence. Do not show a tendency to pay special attention and care about your child's lack of speaking in front of them. Gradually improve your child's language expression ability through induction, suggestion, and help.
2. Find some nursery rhymes suitable for children to recite loudly, providing assistance for their proficient language expression and forming a relatively fluent language habit.
Why don't babies like to talk
1. Environmental factors. In the family, multiple dialects are used to speak to children, such as the father speaking Mandarin, the mother speaking Cantonese, the grandfather speaking Shanghainese, and the nanny speaking Shaanxi dialect. The child is at a loss and doesn't know what to say about it.
2. Pathological factors. Some diseases, such as intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, childhood autism, central nervous system damage or dysfunction, can lead to delayed speech and other corresponding abnormal manifestations. Children with mild intellectual developmental delay start speaking 1-3 years later than normal. In addition, some children may experience temporary delays in language development during the stage of learning to walk (from walking to walking alone), and their language may develop quickly after walking.
3. Psychological issues. Because the child's speech was unclear at the beginning, he said "hairy donkey" as "hairy fish roe" and "Mantou" as "steamed bun fight", which caused adult jokes and caused the child's fear of speaking.
Children who don't like to talk have caused headaches for many parents. Worried about whether there is a language barrier or an introverted personality. In fact, the child is still young, and there is still time to overcome the habit of not being talkative. Parents need to spend more time with their children and encourage them to speak. Once overcome, the child will gradually emerge from the shadow of being afraid to speak.
