Children's language development is a complex and fascinating process. However, many parents and educators often fall into some misconceptions that can have a negative impact on children's language development. In the following, we will ** some common misconceptions about children's language development to help parents and educators better understand and support their children's language development.Let's take a look at these myths:
If the child's language development is delayed, it will be better if he takes injections and medicinesSome parents always think that there is some medicine that can cure their child's language retardation, and some parents even find so-called home remedies for their children. The fact is that to date, there is not a single oral or injectable drug in the world that has been approved for use in children with speech disorders. At present, the internationally recognized scientifically based method is: Professionally certified teachers provide professional parent training and professional training to children based on the results of comprehensive language assessments
2.Don't substitute electronics for communication
Children can also learn some knowledge on mobile phones and TV, but the process of watching TV and watching mobile phones is only a single process of receiving language information, and there is no language output and communication, which is not conducive to the development of children's language. Long-term exposure to electronics will only deprive children of more opportunities to socialize and speak.
3.The nobleman was late
Many parents obviously think that their children will speak very little, but they are often persuaded by relatives and friends - "since ancient times, noble people have been late", "I was like this when I was a child, and now I am not good" ......The best time for diagnosis and treatment is gradually delayed.
4.The tongue is too short
The incidence of tongue-tie in newborns is about 4% 5%, which may be temporary, generally disappearing naturally at the age of 4 to 5, and a very small number of people still have tongue-tie at the age of 4 to 5, but a large number of studies have proved that tongue-tie is not related to their language development, unless tongue-tie is extremely severe, or tongue-tie is accompanied by other oral abnormalities and mouth movement problems.
Parents lack the awareness of cultivating their children's expression skills
In many family education concepts, parents prefer to make their children obedient and obedient, rather than encouraging children to express their ideas and wishes boldly. Even sometimes children defend their own behavior, and when they raise and question their parents' views, they are often detained by parents"The child is disobedient and likes to talk back", thus suppressing the child's willingness to express his thoughts. Expressing one's thoughts is an important ability that is needed for everything in life. What you want to eat at noon needs to be expressed, so that everyone agrees with your ideas need to be expressed, and communication with friends needs to be expressed... Expression is a kind of comprehensive ability, not only fluently, but also thinking about things, the content of the structure, the dialectical and logical thinking when persuading people, it is the most important part of interpersonal communication, will directly affect the child's interpersonal relationships.
Parents make arrangements for children to lack opportunities for expression
Every parent loves their children, but some parents will help their children do everything well, from what clothes to wear every day, to which interest classes to choose, all of which are arranged by parents. Even when the child is required to express his wishes, he has stepped forward to arrange the child's expression. Such parents tend to be more aggressive and like to impose their ideas on their children. Many parents feel that they do this for their children because they love them, but this love deprives their children of opportunities for self-development and affects their children's expression and communication. Imposing one's own ideas on the child and not allowing the child to justify deprives the child of the opportunity to think about problems and develop logical thinking skills. Over time, children will develop a dependency mentality, obedience has become the basic norm of parent-child relationship, do not take the initiative to express and communicate, and lose the ability to solve problems independently.
