Timetable of children's language development
After the baby was born, he began to babble, and gradually the child began to make various sounds. Slowly, babies begin to accept external language stimuli, and they will try to pronounce by imitating what their parents have said to them.
In this process, each child has his own language schedule, so let's learn how the baby's language ability develops at different ages.
0-9 months: vocalization
Babies within 9 months communicate with the world mainly by making sounds, whether crying or laughing, or some strange syllables without tones. Children at this stage have no cognitive ability and can't understand what adults say. They just express their simple physiological reactions such as whether they are happy or sad, whether they want to eat or poop through their voices.
9- 18 months: understanding and imitation
At this stage, children have some basic cognitive abilities, and begin to imitate the sounds or words they hear gradually, and learn to associate the words they have learned with specific things, so that children can understand and carry out their parents' simple instructions.
18-24 months: vocabulary increase and complicated instructions
From one and a half years old to two years old, children will accumulate more and more vocabulary, slowly accumulate more than 30 words, and understand complex instructions in more than two steps.
2 -3 years old: language accumulation period
This stage is particularly important. Children in the language accumulation period will further improve their cognitive ability and will not only speak simple words as before. At this time, parents must teach their children more vocabulary and give them more opportunities to speak.
At this time, the child is like a "reservoir". When they master enough words, that is, when the "reservoir" pours, then they will enter the next stage-the language explosion period.
3-5 years old: language explosion period
From the age of three, children's language reserves are basically completed, and the "gate" of their speech will suddenly open one day, and children will become more and more talkative and love to talk. At this time, we should correct their pronunciation, communicate with them more, reduce their unconscious language, and further enhance their learning and cognitive ability.
