Language barrier is our old friend. Readers who often read our articles are no strangers to it, and some are even more familiar than us. It is a terrible thing for children to talk late, not only for children, but also for parents.
When children can't speak or can't understand you, communication is not smooth, and the crying that follows makes you feel extremely uneasy. The essential problem of not talking will also make you feel uneasy and flustered because you can't solve it clearly.
Language is a tool for human communication and the most important feature that distinguishes human beings from other creatures. The lack of language ability means that individuals are out of touch with society and cannot express concrete things and abstract concepts smoothly and clearly through the symbolic symbol of language. And the origin of all this starts with the brain.
There are many kinds of language disorders, with different symptoms and different treatment methods. Language retardation, as the big brother in language-impaired families, has a great influence on preschool children. Specifically, acquired development factors account for most of the factors that cause language retardation.
Any problem classified as language disorder is divided into physiological factors and developmental factors, which is also the difference between language problems and common diseases. The diagnosis of common diseases can be made by looking, listening, asking and feeling, but judging language barriers requires more complicated experience.
Language retardation, as a special type, seems to be related to brain function. Some people claim that the occurrence of language retardation is the result of poor development of brain language center, but there are few clinical results to support this statement.
In the eyes of practitioners in the field of language correction, children's late speech and inability to speak are actually the result of acquired language education and lack of language environment. The MRI results of some children with language retardation show that there are indeed abnormalities in the brain, but not all children exist. However, after the occurrence of language delay, some children's brains appear different degrees of developmental delay.
Language is stored, processed and produced in the brain, and the developed degree of the brain determines the developed degree of language. Conversely, the development of language will also affect the development of the brain in the next few years. Why do you say that? How does an abstract symbol affect biological organs?
So far, human research on language is only the tip of the iceberg. This is because the brain that produces language is extremely complex, with as many neurons as the stars in the sky, and all parts of the brain are also responsible for different activities of the human body. The use of language is related to Wilnick and Blocker.
One of these two areas is responsible for distinguishing pronunciation and forming semantics, and the other is responsible for pronunciation and grammar, which produces motivation and desire to speak. If a child suffers from language retardation due to insufficient speech-making organs or language education, the functions of these two parts will be equally affected.
This has to mention the familiar language stimulation. Excellent language stimulation can help children master language ability better, but insufficient language stimulation will make the areas in the brain responsible for language not get enough exercise, and the slow-developing areas will in turn hinder language development.
In addition, the area in the brain responsible for cognitive ability will also stop developing, and children are unaware of external things and themselves, and they cannot learn to express specific things in abstract language, which leads to the lack of social skills.
Fine motor ability refers to the ability of an individual to accomplish a specific task mainly by the movement of small muscles or muscle groups of hands and fingers with the cooperation of various psychological activities such as perception and attention. The development of early fine motor skills coincides with the cognitive development of the brain in time and space, and its smooth development is conducive to the maturity of early brain structure and function.
Broadly speaking, the smooth development of fine movements is also inseparable from the development of language. The cognitive development of children with mature fine movements is also mature, and the language function will also show the developmental effect beyond their peers.
Pronunciation itself is a delicate movement, and the cooperation of lips, teeth and mouthpiece will make us pronounce various syllables. Playing the tongue in Russian can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of the coordination of vocal organs. Many children can't press keys, stack blocks and use pencils, which is the embodiment of the lack of fine motor ability.
The importance of fine motor ability is not only reflected in motor ability, but also in language, imagination, thinking and attention related to cognition, which are almost positively related to the proficiency of fine motor. Therefore, practicing fine movements is also training the brain, and the process of learning to speak is also an activity that constantly promotes brain development.
With the opening of our Nanjing Center, we also hope that parents and friends can pay more attention to their children's language development. If the baby has language problems, please consult a professional language institution nearby in time, so as not to delay the child's current development and future development.
