According to the standards for 2 years old baby should speak in phrases. But according to statistics, only 10% of modern children correspond to them. The rest say separate words and interjections: “mom”, “give”, “yes”, “no”, “bi-bi”, “yum-yum”. And there is no cause for concern. However, at this age, all children, without exception, it is desirable to visit a speech therapist. He will determine if there are any irregularities in the work of the articulatory apparatus, will observe how the crumb responds to questions. And if he finds a problem, he will send it to a specialist for consultation. It often happens that the child’s help is not needed by the child, he simply has no motivation to talk. After all, his parents and without words understand, fulfill every whim. The solution to the problem is not so difficult - it is necessary to create conditions that will bring the baby to the conversation.Photo: iStock/Gettyimages.ru

Gently but persistently ask the crumb to explain what he wants

Ask more clarifying questions. And try to speak less yourself. When mom doesn't shut up, the child will not want to join the dialogue.

Teach them to communicate with their peers

Many children begin to speak when they enterkindergarten, but some, on the contrary, withdraw into themselves. Therefore, it is better to first go together to developmental classes in small groups. From 1.5 years old, the baby already needs to communicate with peers. Being among children, he will understand much faster that he needs to talk, then they will play with him and be friends.

Offer to read together, learn poems, patters

Even if the child does not want to repeat them after you, do not retreat. He still remembers and sooner or later will repeat. Some children like songs, they also help to remove the verbal barrier.

Minimize contact with gadgets and TV

Visual information inhibits speech development because it does not stimulate the child to actively communicate.

Do exercises with your baby on the development of fine motor skills

The center responsible for it is located next to the speech center. They are interconnected.

Games for developing fine motor skills

The mosaic coloring pages from the “I Draw” series are designedfor the youngest (2 to 3 years old). They can be used to study colors, shapes, and English words. Construction sets from the "Baby" series are suitable for children aged 3 to 7 years. The plastic parts are large and safe. You can assemble animals, cars, and trains from them. Fans of the cartoon "Cars" will be interested in 3D puzzles with the same name. They include 9-17 fragments and are easy to assemble (for children aged 3 and up). Bright mosaics with applique from the Toys Union series (3 to 7 years old) are fun to assemble not only with your mother, but also in the company of peers. Talking posters and electronic toys do not always have a positive effect. They sometimes cause irritation and anger in children.

Games that develop horizons and speech

Lotto “ABC” or “Loto:10 games in one box" is designed for children from 3 to 8 years old. During the game, show and clearly pronounce what is depicted on the cards: animals, plants, food, surrounding objects.
