The graduate student brought my 1-and-a-half-year-old son Little Cheese to come to me to play. We met in the parent-child restaurant of the mall. When Tim saw his little brother, he suddenly committed "crazy". There are words in the mouth, Chinese and English together. My classmates said to me: "Sure enough, it's your son, this little mouth is really slippery!" Then he sighed deeply and said: "Look at the cheese, there is only one month to 一岁半, I can only say one or two words. Is a language development delay?"
I comforted her: "Children develop their own regularity, one and a half years old did not speak It can’t be regarded as a language delay.” I asked some children about the daily routines in their lives. It was not because of lack of communication, not because of hearing or oral problems.
Just like what I saw in a paper at the University of Chicago, the classmate’s baby is because the "fine motor" is not fully developed, which affects the language ability.
If your baby is also in the same situation and he hasn't spoken for a long time, then look down!
The baby is 1 and a half years old and does not speak. Is it developmental delay?
In terms of language development, parents’ anxiety often comes from the "comparison" with children of the same age. is like every time I meet Haoran’s mother downstairs in the elevator, every time he sees Tim, he will say Haoran is "stupid".
On the question of when the child speaks, brain scientists advise parents not to be overly anxious , each child has its own brain development pattern. Some children will develop brain areas for language learning in advance, and some children will develop brain areas for exercise. These differences are normal and acceptable.
As you can see in the "0-2 Years Old Baby Language Development Table" above, if a one and a half year old child can understand most of the vocabulary, he will speak a few simple ones The words, , cannot be used to determine that the child is "language retardation". Instead, should look for the reason from the baby’s daily life and help them with language training.
In chatting with classmates, I found that as a full-time mother, she takes care of the little cheese very well and at the same time understands the children’s needs very well. As soon as the baby opened her mouth, she gave immediately a cup of water, and she was basically feeding it. This behavior, on the one hand, made the child lose the need for language expression , and on the other hand, it affected the development of 宝宝细动, causing the language development to lag behind the average.
Language development or fine motor related
Seeing this, some parents may say, how can fine motor affect language development? We usually think that language development is closely related to the communication between parents and babies, and the baby’s hearing development .
David McNair, a psycholinguist at the University of Chicago, believes that speech is closely related to fine hand movements.
The subsequent series of experiments also confirmed his views.
A.Body language and language involve similar brain regions
When a child responds to his mother with words, his brain works like this: auditory signals are transmitted to 听感语中中心, the auditory center tells Wernick language center to decode. On the other hand, Speech Language Center encodes the thinking and passes it to Exercise Language Center , and then mobilizes the lips, tongue and throat muscles to form language.
In experiments, scientists found that people who cannot move their hands and feet after brain damage, and their language function quickly declines. Therefore, we found out the brain areas used by body movement and language.
Simply put: The development of body movement can promote language development . It is also the old saying " The feet are sharp and the mouth is fast. "
B.Finger fine movement helps to master complex vocabulary
See "Let "Children’s Brain Freedom", I accidentally turned to the author’s point of view: Children cannot master complex vocabulary until the fine motor control ability of fingers improves.
I remembered that when Tim was fifteen months old, my friend gave him a set of wooden beaded game boxes. I opened and let Tim play, he always couldn't put the small wooden needle into the hole, and yelled angrily. But with 's failed attempts to again and again, his success has increased and his beading speed has become faster and faster. develops along with his 's ability to master vocabulary.
Use "finger exercises" to teach the baby to speak
The brain areas responsible for various abilities in the baby's brain do not exist in isolation, and there are thousands between them. Inextricably linked. A kind of ability improvement may be able to drive the improvement of the whole cognition. Understand this point, mom and dad can understand why the baby should develop in all directions. If the baby's language development is a little bit behind, don't worry, parents and moms, try finger exercises.
1, face-to-face "finger exercises" and teach the baby to speak
American neuroscientist Menardi pointed out: "When learning a language, there must be human interaction. Only the neurons in the baby’s brain will record the necessary information.”
If mom and dad are not very talkative, you might as well take time to play "finger exercises" with your baby. We can find some nursery rhymes that babies usually listen to. For example, Tim and I often play "Finger Family" , you can plan your action in advance , or you can improvisation . The most important of these is interaction. Expressions, gestures and music are carried out together. It is best to let the baby also wave his hands to participate.
2, Singing and doing
Why is it more effective to sing and do finger exercises to promote the baby's language development? This is because there are nursery rhymes with a specific rhythm of and rhythm , which will help the baby gain a sense of language other than vocabulary. Language sense is especially important in Chinese learning. What's more, no baby can refuse the charm of music, singing and doing is the correct way to open finger exercises.
3, add some "drama" to be more exciting
With the development of children's understanding ability, you can add some "drama" to the daily finger exercise . Make the plot richer, attract the baby's attention, and exercise more advanced thinking skills. For example, this nursery rhyme: Little monkey climbs a mountain, climbs, climbs, climbs...climbs to the shoulder and jumps and jumps.
The middle finger and index finger pretend to be a monkey, and then crawl from the baby's feet to the knees, and from the knees to the baby's shoulders. Let the child repeat this action again for parent-child interaction. The more imagination and understanding develop, the more ways to play this game. In addition to children's songs, parents can add some dialogues and props, and the children can play a finger play together.
Pillow Parenting Message:
In fact, many times, brain science research results are confirmed by previous psychologists inferred by observationresult. At the same time, it can also provide a more scientific method for our childcare. But all theories seem to point to one core: communication and company with children, we encourage everyone.
