Текст на Статията
- Hello Abigail! Of course, what questions did you have?
- Hey Amanda! Thank you for having me over. I did have a few questions because I just became a first-time mom.
- Well, every child learns at their own pace, their language development starts within the first few years of their life.
- I mainly wanted to know what you did to start your child's language development, and how fast they were able to process everything.
- Well for starters, the first form of communication a baby has is being able to cry for food, if they are sleepy, in pain or even for comfort (H., 2022).
- What does each stage entail?
- When babies start to age, before 6 months they are able to try to sort out the sounds of the language their parents speak.
- That makes sense, I have noticed Jack look like he's trying to talk, it just doesn't always work.
- Exactly, but sometime at 6 months your baby will be able to recognize the basic sounds that you make (H., 2022).
- Not quite yet, it would be beneficial at this point, or even before to read to them, or talk to them a lot.
- This means that when they are 6 months old, that they should be almost close to being able to speak?
- But like I mentioned it is important to know that children grow at their own pace.
- Like you said before, would reading, and talking to them as often as possible really make a difference?
- Yes! the more you interact with them the more they can start picking up on the language.
- I did not know that reading to them would actually benefit them from such a young age, I can't wait for my baby to understand me.
- That depends, at 7 months they will still babble but they should be able to understand simple words duch as "juice", or respond to "come here".
- When my baby was that old, she was able to coo at me, and babble, which meant she was trying her hardest to speak.
- If you do try to get them to talk at what age can they have a conversation?
- My baby is 5 months, what should be able to do?
- They should be able to say 1 or 2 words by their first birthday (H., 2022).
- By the time they are 1-2 years old, they should be able to follow simple commands, and answer simple questions.
- I cant wait for their first word! I wonder what it will be.
- What happens after that?
- 3-4 years is when they can answer, "who, what, when, where why" questions.
- Absolutely! They should be able to talk to you about daily activities.
- Lastly, at 4-5 years old they should be able to communicate easily and use adult grammar.
- This is all so exciting! I know they do grow so fast, but it's almost impossible to wait.
- So, they would be able to speak in sentences, and answer questions?
- I complete understand how you feel. If I didn't read child development books, or go to classes, I would have been lost too.
- Now that I know what the stages are for my child's language development, I feel more at ease.
- Absolutely no problem! I was so glad that I was able to make it easy to understand.
- Well Amanda thank you so much for being so kind to explain everything!
