Yiyangjun recently received letters from parents saying that his son was always muttering something in his mouth while lying on the bed, or he was muttering to himself when he was playing with toys. Sometimes he would laugh when he said that.
So why do babies always talk to themselves? Is there something wrong? Is it normal for children to talk to themselves?
In fact, when children are 2-6 years old, many children talk to themselves and talk to themselves or their virtual friends. It's just that some children are louder, and some are just muttering softly. Parents may not notice.
If the child talks to himself, it means that the child is learning language, which is a sign of the child's over-learning of the external language to the internal language. Simply put, your child will become smarter because of this process!
Take an example: when your child is playing Superman, he will pretend what kind of scene Superman is in, what kind of words he will say, what kind of monsters he will fight, what skills and so on! These are all processes for children to show their imagination and learn languages!
We adults often talk to ourselves, but we speak quietly in our hearts. It doesn't feel strange that others can't hear it.
children are different from us. His language and thinking skills are still developing, so he needs to use the explicit form of speaking out to help him communicate and think. Just as adults don’t make a sound when reading a book, but children need to say every word out loud, the truth is the same.
As they grow older, children will turn vocal speech into silent thinking like us, and the phenomenon of talking to oneself will naturally disappear.
From the perspective of children's development, self-talking will undergo a process of internalization: from an explicit, audible language to a silent mental activity.
What we have to do is to teach children to use logical words to guide their actions when talking to themselves, learn to do things in a planned way, and develop the habit of rational thinking. For example, when putting on clothes, we can teach children to talk while doing: I want to wear socks first, then pants, and shoes last.
often gives children such demonstrations to help them use language to guide actions, set goals, and arrange plans. In the long run, children's self-control and thinking logic will be enhanced.
