The child does not talk - what should I do?
When the child turns 2 years old, and he still does not speak, then immediately it is necessary to exclude the pathology of the hearing aid, after all, it happens that before this age, parents do not even know about the existing problem. In general, hearing impairment can be determined by the way a child responds to adult words, if he stubbornly ignores them and does not even turn when they turn to him, this may be an indication that the child has hearing problems or neurological abnormalities.
Now speech therapists and neurologists have noticed a trend that has not yet been explained - the children start talking later than some 10-15 years ago and their diction is much worse. Therefore, if parents ask for help from a speech specialist, when a child is 2 years old and does not speak, they are advised to wait until 3 years, and then they begin to deal with the baby.
You can wait, of course, you can, but all parents want their babe to talk as much as the neighbor Kolya. Because to talk baby started on time, he needs to create favorable conditions for this. Although, if it is laid down by nature that the baby will later sit down and go, then to say such a child, too, is likely to become late from generally accepted norms.
Homework with a child who does not speak at 2 years.
In order for the kid to quickly begin to voice all that is happening around him, there must be appropriate living conditions - a switched off computer, a TV and radio, and full attention of the parents. Under the attention it is not necessary to mean anticipating the desires of the child, when the baby can, and would like to say something or ask, but caring parents are already in a hurry to carry out the child's instruction according to one of his glances. It is necessary to create situations when a child is forced to ask, for something, adults, and they, in turn, should not understand his mooing and hints.
From an early age with children, you have to play daily finger games and do gymnastics, useful for small motor skills. All these seemingly unrelated manipulations will bear fruit in the future. If the child is 2 years old and he does not talk, then it will be very useful to massage the fingers, which is performed by kneading each finger in turn, accompanying all the actions with gay rhyming lines.
Speech therapists in their classes use a conventional toothbrush, which is done by fingertip massage, and parents can also take this method into service. You can connect a simple articulatory charging , teaching the child to repeat the various movements of the lips and imitate the sounds of animals.
Why does not the child speak?
Non-talkative children can grow up in a family where parents themselves have little communication and prefer to remain silent. The child has no one to learn speaking, but when he starts to go to the kindergarten, he "breaks through" and the kid begins to chirp without stopping.
Or, on the contrary, it happens that in the larger families the youngest have problems with the development of speech, and parents are puzzled why the child does not talk for a long time, because he is already two years old and he has someone to take an example from. Here the problem is precisely the large number of people who constantly speak, thus not allowing the child to insert words, foreseeing his desires. Such a child does not need to speak, because he is already understood without words.
In any case, when a lot of attention is paid to a child, fairy tales and poems are read to him, drawing, modeling and finger exercises are engaged with him, then by the time he is three years old he will certainly speak.
