How to help your baby talk earlier? Moms have tips to stimulate baby development

Baby talk is another milestone, which means he is about to enter the language learning stage. In order to accelerate your child's learning to speak, you should start talking to him as early as possible. Keep responding to your baby's cooing and tell him what he is referring to and what it is used for to help your baby connect.

How to help your baby speak early

1. Start the conversation early

You don't have to wait until your baby knows some words before you start talking to him or her when he or she is still babbling. In fact, you should start talking to your baby earlier, perhaps right after birth. Talking early will help your baby understand your words and learn a large vocabulary.

2. Express connecting words

Whether your baby is eating or sleeping, tell him everything you do with him. For example, if your baby is looking at something, tell him what it is and what it is used for. This can help your baby connect and understand, and help him speak.

3. Read a story

Even though your baby may not understand the story, it's a fun way to learn to talk. If you're reading a children's book, show your baby colorful pictures to stimulate his imagination. Books that can be touched and felt are very helpful for babies under 6 months old.

4. Encourage your baby to talk

Although your baby may not be young enough to speak meaningfully, respond when he coos at things. This will encourage him to feel that you care about what he says. Also, when he points to an object, tell him what it is and what it is used for.

5. Stay away from TV and the Internet

Keep your baby away from TV and items such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones. You may think that there are many children's programs suitable for babies to watch, but they will not respond to babies. Smiling, responding, etc. can stimulate the baby to start talking and make him learn faster.

Things to pay attention to when teaching your baby to speak

1. Repeat words

It is impossible for a baby to understand how to pronounce something after hearing you say it only once, so you need to repeat it constantly and let the baby listen to it several times to deepen his impression and help him learn how to pronounce it.

2. Describe as much as possible

In addition to telling your baby what the object is, it is best to describe it more, such as "this is a red car" and "this ball is green", so that your baby can connect more words.

3. Speak slowly and clearly

When you are teaching your baby how to pronounce something, be sure to speak slowly and clearly because sometimes your baby already understands something but may not know how to pronounce it.

4. Use gestures and expressions

Sometimes you can add some gestures or expressions to deepen the baby's impression. For example, use your hands as rabbit ears and then imitate the rabbit jump. This method can make it easier for the baby to understand.

5. Don’t lose patience

It takes time for a baby to learn to speak, so you must be patient and constantly stimulate the baby and talk to him/her, so as to help the baby learn to speak.
