How to properly develop a child’s speech

Formation of speech in children and early development It's extremely important. By helping children to shape and develop their speech, we prepare them not only for school, but for life in general. The main skill necessary in society is the ability to express your thoughts with the help of speech in the most clear and accessible to others. Parents often, fearing to do something wrong and withdrawing from personal participation, send their child to various classes and clubs to specialists who, in their opinion, know for sure how to develop this skill.

However, Dr. Komarovsky argues that it is the parents who, involuntarily or arbitrarily, most significantly influence the formation and quality of a child’s speech. “The main thing that parents should do is not to let the process of speech activity of the baby take its course,” he says.

Speech therapist tips

1. Comment on all your actions. Immediately after birth, the baby begins to grow and observe the world around him. By voicing your actions and events that are happening around, calling things by their proper names, you will form a correct idea of various concepts in your child. Studies show that the more words a child hears in the first three years of life, the more successful they develop later in life.
   
   
   
   
2. Eliminate slutty from communication with the child. In order for your child to speak clearly and clearly in the future, he must hear and learn exceptionally clean and undistorted speech from an early age.
   
   
   
   
3. Notice and pay attention to the sounds that are heard around you. Whether it's a dog barking, a car signal, a bird chirping, a strong wind or something. Be sure to explain to the child where the sound comes from and what it means. In this case, you need to display the emotion that a particular sound should cause.
   
   
   
   
4. Don't forget to ask the child questions. At any time, anywhere, be interested in something to make your child want to continue a dialogue with you. You can ask about what your child does or what animals he likes, first naming your favorite and explaining why it is.
   
   
   
   
5. Play well. When buying a game, make sure that it has enough descriptive elements. A great example is the game “Color and shape”, in which you need to collect figures of the same color or shape. To prevent the child from collecting the figures in complete silence, use the previous advice, ask: “What color is this object?” or “Why should this figure be here?” Such games should be played daily, even for a few minutes, but systematically.
   
   
   
   
6. Develop your child’s speech using definitions of objects. To help the child understand the signs of objects and develop his view of the world as a whole, add a characteristic to the word that the child pronounces. For example, if “vase”, then mother, “tea” is hot, “window” is glass.
   
   
   
   
7. Read poetry out loud. Rhymed lines develop the auditory perception of the child, as well as a sense of rhythm.
   
   
   
   
8. Speak clearly and take pauses. A young child needs more time to process information than an adult, so after you tell him something or ask him about something, give him a little time to take the information.
   
   
   
   
9. Pay attention to the development of small motor skills of the baby. Do with him drawing, modeling, needlework, give the opportunity to tie your shoelaces. The better the child copes with these tasks, the better his speech will develop.
