How to judge whether the baby has developmental delay? What is the cause of the baby's developmental delay?

During the baby's growth and development, mom and dad will always pay special attention to the baby's physical condition. If the baby still can't speak and has no certain mobility at a certain age, it is likely that the baby is developing slowly.

1 Difficulty in feeding If a child has developmental delay, then his intelligence will be greatly affected. Normally developed children have normal physical performance, but if there is a developmental delay, it will be very difficult for the child to drink milk, and he may also spit up milk. These are all manifestations of intellectual delay.

2. Incoordinated movements. Children with developmental delays will appear very uncoordinated in their movements. Children will generally start to lift their heads when they are three months old, and can turn over, crawl, grab things, and play with toys by themselves when they are over one year old. If the child does not perform these movements, or cannot complete them smoothly, then you need to consider whether it is caused by developmental delay.

3 Abnormal body development. After birth, children usually have a heavier and larger head, which is normal. However, if a child has polio, he or she will be shorter and have a larger head, which is caused by water accumulation in the brain. If a child has thyroid problems, he or she will also be shorter. Some children may have very white skin, which may be caused by some diseases and requires a comprehensive examination.

4 Language barriers Children over one year old can already call mom and dad, and can have simple conversations with their parents. They can understand general instructions, and even if there are some delays, they will not be delayed for too long. If they are unable to utter longer words or cannot speak, they should go to the hospital for a check-up in time to see if it is caused by developmental delay.

1. Genetic factors: The developmental characteristics of children are affected by genetic factors, such as skin, body shape and appearance. If a baby has developmental delay, it is likely caused by genetic factors.

2 Disease factors: The baby's growth and development are delayed due to chromosomal abnormalities, chronic diseases, malnutrition and other reasons. The short stature caused by these diseases should be checked in time at the hospital to find out the cause of the growth retardation and receive timely treatment.

3 Growth hormone: There is a growth hormone in the human body, and its secretion has a great influence on the growth and development of children. If the baby lacks growth hormone, there will be developmental delay, which will make the child short and even affect the final height.

4. Maternal influence: After a woman becomes pregnant, the development of the fetus will be affected by the mother's mood, nutrition, and illness. If the pregnant woman is malnourished, she is prone to miscarriage and premature birth, and the fetus' body and brain will be delayed in development. This influence exists even after birth. In addition, if a woman has a pregnancy disease during pregnancy, it is also easy for the child to be delayed in development after birth.

1. Game training method For infants and young children with developmental delay, parents can use some small games to help the children with rehabilitation training. Games can be used to train the children's learning and language skills. Under the guidance of professional doctors, different games can be played for different stages of the children. Parents can help the children master the vocabulary they have learned in the games, which can help the children enhance their communication and exchange skills.

2. Hand gesture training method Parents can also teach children with developmental delay some hand gestures, so that they can use these hand gestures to convey their meanings, which can also enhance their communication skills. The hand gestures mentioned here are for children with delayed language development. Hand gestures are a very good way of communication. This method can allow children with developmental delays to slowly learn to express themselves, and they can also slowly transition to oral expression.

3 Outdoor activity training method For children with developmental delay, they should participate in more interactive activities, which can also help them improve their communication skills. Here, parents should let their children participate in more activities. When participating in interactive activities, parents should encourage children with developmental delay to play and do activities with other children, so as to enhance their social interaction ability.

1. In terms of head training, when we conduct rehabilitation training for these children with developmental delays, we must train them in different parts of the body. However, in terms of head training, we mainly use the head control training method. At this time, parents can let the children lie on the ground and put a toy in front of the child’s head so that the child can look up at the toy and move his head as the toy moves. This can effectively help the children and exercise their heads.

2 Sitting exercise method This method is mainly to train these children to keep their heads straight and their backs straight as much as possible when eating, communicating, and studying, and to play with toys and other activities in a sitting position. The main purpose is to improve the children's ability to sit and balance, so that these children can have a healthy state in their daily lives.

3 Crawling training method We all know that when children explore the world, they usually crawl. However, children with developmental delays cannot crawl normally. Therefore, at this time, parents must help their children with crawling training, which can improve the children's ability to control their bodies and limbs, thereby laying a good foundation for their future standing and walking.
