Every detail after the birth of a child will attract the attention of parents, including the first time the child is called "dad" or "mom". The timing of the child's speech will also become a sign for parents to judge whether the child is smart. If the child speaks early, parents will be happy, but if the child speaks late, it will cause parents to worry. So what if the child cannot speak for more than three weeks? Let's take a look together.
What should I do if my child can't speak for over three weeks
It is somewhat abnormal for a child to not be able to express themselves normally at the age of three, as there may be more psychological factors. It is recommended that parents do not put too much pressure on their children, but patiently communicate with them through language. Do not use gestures to speak to them, especially when they communicate with you through gestures. Do not echo, but use language to respond. When communicating with children, communicate face-to-face, eye to eye, slow down, and speak clearly.
In addition, there should be no subjective coercion towards children. Everything should go with the flow. As children's language expression gradually increases, they can be guided to express themselves through gestures that they cannot understand. When they express a meaning with complete vocabulary and language, they should make expressions of surprise and enlightenment, allowing children to feel achievement and satisfaction, and appreciate the charm of language.
Babies often talk a lot
In fact, when a baby is born crying loudly, it represents the first time they have started to "speak" and express themselves clearly.
When the baby is 4-5 months old, they may occasionally say their first "mom" or "dad", which will definitely make you extremely excited, but they have not yet truly connected these words with you. This can only be achieved when he is about one year old.
Babies aged 6-9 months can speak more. When he murmured or pronounced, it seemed to make sense. This is because he is using a similar tone and intonation when speaking to you.
Babies aged 12-17 months can use one or two words and know their meanings. He even practices changing his tone, raising it when asking questions, such as when a baby wants someone to hold them and saying, 'Can we hold them?'. He gradually realized the importance of speaking and the powerful power of language in expressing his needs.
A baby aged 1 and a half to 2 years old may already have a vocabulary of up to 200 words, many of which are nouns. Between 18-20 months, babies learn vocabulary at a rate of 10 or more words per day. Some babies can learn a new word every half an hour, so you need to pay attention to your language expression.
A two-and-a-half-year-old baby will start using "me" and "you". Between the ages of two and three, a baby's vocabulary will increase to 300 words. He can connect nouns and verbs together to create simple yet complete sentences.
At the age of 3, babies will be able to talk continuously and adjust their tone, speaking patterns, and vocabulary according to the conversation partner.
After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone knows what to do if a child cannot speak for more than three weeks. I hope parents can take this seriously because this situation is still abnormal. It is recommended that parents guide their children to speak slowly, be patient, and not force them. If necessary, they can cooperate with the doctor's advice for treatment.
