Under what circumstances is a child sick when he speaks late, and how should parents learn to distinguish and deal with it?

First of all, we need to know why children speak late. The main reasons for language barriers are intellectual, psychological, listening and pronunciation problems. Solutions also need to start with symptoms. Bian Xiao suggested that we can check from the following aspects.

1, check for congenital diseases.

Undeniably, the development of language has certain genetic factors. Many children speak late, because their parents speak late, or they have congenital mental retardation, such as cerebral palsy and Down syndrome, which leads to language understanding obstacles. The pronunciation of a language is difficult to imitate and learn, so it is difficult to say.

2. Judge whether the hearing is normal.

Listening determines whether children can hear clearly and hear the pronunciation of adults clearly. Children's language development needs to go through the process of understanding first and then expressing. If they can't fully understand the language, they can't form systematic thinking, can't imitate it, and children will talk late.

3. Check the development of the vocal organs.

Check whether the muscles of the child's tongue, mouth and throat are developing normally. Short lingual frenulum and recessive cleft palate are common diseases of children's vocal organs. Too short lingual frenulum will affect the flexible pronunciation of the tongue, and cleft palate will cause malocclusion in the mouth. Recessive cleft palate is hard to find. The disorder of the above two kinds of pronunciation organs can be corrected by going to the hospital for minor surgery.

4. Evaluate whether there is sensory imbalance.

Sensory integration disorder will lead to uncoordinated coordination between children's brain and body, such as vestibular sense (vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, ontology, etc.). ), this will make the nerve center in the cerebral cortex unable to interact with the nerves in the language area, which will lead to the lack of vocabulary ability and the confusion of language organization.

Many children's sensory impairment is also due to the lack of a good language environment in small urbanized families, and at the same time, parents have not carried out certain language training, resulting in children speaking late. Many parents rely too much on their children's developmental ability, thinking that their children can learn to speak without much training. Often the children in this family speak late and slurred speech, which needs to be improved through targeted language training for children.
