5 rumors about babies talking late, parents must pay attention

Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-02-03

Some children don't start talking until they're two years old, and some even keep their mouths shut. There is a saying among Chinese folk that "noble people speak late", thinking that children who speak later will be smart in the future, but in fact, these are not true. The following 5 rumors must be taken seriously by parents.

Myth 1: The noble man is late. Late speaking is a sign of intelligence.

This is a rumor that misleads parents. Children are like a small sapling, although there are individual differences in children's development, but there are also a small number of children with abnormal intellectual response, poor language comprehension ability, weak imitation learning ability, and backward language expression, which is a small number of cases, and the vast majority of children will grow up according to the law of growth and development. Parents can't be blinded by the words "noble people are late". If the child's language development is backward, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the first time.

Myth 2: Boys speak later than girls. A person's language ability is related to factors such as health, living environment, education, etc., but in terms of gender, there is no obvious difference between boys and girls, and the law of growth should be followed.

Myth 3: Speaking late means that there is a problem with intelligence, and you will become mentally retarded when you grow up. Children's intellectual development is determined after the age of 6, and there is still a lot of potential to explore before the age of 6. Children who are stunted behind can catch up with normal children through scientific planning and sustained efforts. It pays off for parents to build confidence and patiently guide their child's potential.

Myth 4: Watching more puzzle shows can improve IQ, which is unscientific. No matter how clever the show is, it's just a one-line transmission, far inferior to the interaction between parents and children. When parents and children play with educational toys and play games, children have visual, auditory stimulation, hands, brain, mouth, etc., exercises, as well as the company of parents, which is the best way to improve children's intelligence.

Myth 5: Intelligence mainly depends on the right brain, and the positive development of the right brain can stimulate creativity, which is a very hot topic, but from a medical point of view, the developmental balance of the left and right brains in children is complete. The left brain of a person is mainly related to functions such as language and logical thinking, while the right brain is more related to functions such as emotion and memory. If the child's right brain is overdeveloped and the left brain is underdeveloped, conditions such as ADHD may occur. If the left brain is overdeveloped and the right brain is underdeveloped, autism problems may occur.

Delayed language development in babies is not scary, what is scary is the attitude and thoughts of the parents. If your child's language development is delayed, be sure to take your child to the hospital for a check-up. After all, it is only through scientific and professional intervention and ** that the undesirable condition of children's language development delay and speech delay can be changed.

Today's lesson sharing is over, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Paying attention to the differences between children, raising children scientifically is not based on the textbook, and raising children is also a process of continuous learning for parents.
