Why does the baby speak only with the first syllables
A child's speech develops in stages.This does not depend on the language, and happens in approximately the same way for all children. The initial sounds of a baby are screams and cries, although he quickly begins to distinguish the mother's voice. From about 3 months, drawn-out sounds or cooing appear. This is the baby's reaction to the speech of an adult.
The child speaks his first words in syllablesPhoto:GettyThe age of 3-6 months is marked by multiple repetitions of the same sounds. These are the beginnings of words addressed to an adult. The baby laughs, moves his mouth, imitating his mother's speech. Further development of speech proceeds as follows:
- From 6-9 months, the baby makes the sounds "m", "s". At the same time, syllables similar to "ma" or "ba" appear in his vocabulary.
- In the period of 9-12 months, the baby tries to pronounce a chain of syllables, for example, ma-ma.
From about 12 months the child begins to developwords that are connected with the world of sensations and perception of the child. He talks about what he sees and feels. The baby does not pronounce new words completely. He repeats the sounds that are easier for him to pronounce. That is why the baby's vocabulary sounds funny. He can pronounce the word give as "ay", he calls a dog "aw". "The vocabulary of babies" differs from the usual language, so parents do not always track early words, since they expect the word "mama" or "dada" from him. At this time, the child has already mastered several words, calling milk "ako" or tea "tai". The child's new language is syllables. Usually these are the initial or stressed syllables.
What to do to the child began to speak to 2 years.
The baby needs to prepare his speech apparatus forpronunciation of words. In addition to communication, it is necessary for the baby to suckle and switch to solid food in time. Chewing will develop muscles and simplify the pronunciation of words. In order for the child to understand and be able to pronounce words and sentences correctly, you need to speak to him affectionately but clearly from infancy. If the mother touchingly distorts words, she confuses the baby. Later, he will copy the incorrect mother's speech. The development of fine motor skills of the fingers has a significant impact on the baby. Thinking and intelligence are closely related to the ability to operate small details. You should refrain from retraining a "left-handed" baby. Let him work with his comfortable hand, otherwise his thinking functions will "get confused". The baby's initial speech is individual parts of the word. A speech therapist can tell you whether the child speaks correctly for his age.
