In recent years, the problem of children's language delay has attracted more and more attention, and many parents have become aware of the negative impact of language delay. However, the vast majority of parents' understanding of language delay still stays in the aspect of "affecting children's speech", but they do not know that language delay can also lead to low understanding, low Xi learning ability, and even mental retardation.
Other manifestations of language delay
According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of stunting in children is about 6-8%. In China, this figure is higher than the data released by the World Health Organization, and the incidence of language delay in children in some areas is higher than 9%.
Therefore, for babies in our country, language delay has become an urgent problem to be solved.
Language delay refers to a phenomenon in which a child's ability to express or understand language is significantly behind that of their peers due to a variety of reasons.
In addition to having few vocabulary, unable to express clearly and unable to say what you want to say, children may also have the following manifestations, such as: poor reaction ability, poor comprehension, mental retardation, etc.
How to prevent language delays
Generally speaking, language delay occurs in several stages of children's language development, such as language preparation period and language imitation period, which are the two stages of language delay, in which children affected by language delay generally have the characteristics of late speech, unable to speak, and not speaking.
Therefore, if you want to detect, prevent and improve language delay, it may be best to focus on observing the stages of children's language development.
If we can detect and intervene early in these stages, the impact of language delay on children will be greatly reduced, and problems in children's comprehension and intelligence will be avoided.
Because the brain development of children before the age of three can reach more than 80%, the training effect at this time is more than 10 times that of children after the age of 3, so before the age of 3 is the first period of intervention for language development delay.
Other causes of delayed language development
There are two situations that require special attention;One is that parents are too busy on weekdays, and give their children a lot of electronic screen companionship, such as watching mobile phones, watching TV, etc., lacking this interactive communication environment, and the child's lack of interactive learning and Xi environment, resulting in his language development being affected.
Another situation is that the process of parents with the baby is very delicate, and all the needs of the child can be accurately grasped by the parents, so that the child will usually express his needs through eyes and body movements, and the parents can fully meet all his needs in the first time, so that the child's language expression will also be affected.
In addition, parents need to be aware that multilingual families and overly detailed feeding methods can also lead to delayed language development.
The effects of language problems can be felt throughout a child's life. When it is found that the child has "unspeakable" and "unspeakable", parents must pay attention to it and take the child to the children's specialized hospital for examination and intervention as soon as possible, and the sooner the intervention, the better the effect.
