Optimism is a lack of information. Perhaps that is why young mothers are so worried about the development of a baby. Because the information they have today is the sea! Let's try to become optimists after all and understand what information about the development of the speech of the toddlers to us is in vain trying to present as the truth in the last resort, and which are useful and truthful. It's just amazing how vain are some of the misconceptions! The most common of the opinions prevailing in the people we will compare with scientific knowledge, and then it becomes clear whether this is a myth or the truth about the development and formation of speech in the baby.
Opinion number 1
Birth trauma inevitably leads to disruption in the development and formation of speech in the baby.
Unequivocally predict the development and formation of speech in the baby can not. It may very well be that birth trauma does not affect the future development of the baby, it happens quite often.
Compensate the birth trauma will help systematically classes on the development of speech (from 2 years), fortifying procedures, and in some cases - drug treatment. And then by the school age there will be no manifestations of birth trauma.
Opinion number 2
The boys start talking later than the girls.
This "injustice" is associated with some features of the development and formation of speech in the baby and the central system, which is laid in. The verbal intelligence in girls is better developed than in the stronger sex. , the need to quickly respond verbally to the behavior of the baby, to communicate with him, to answer his endless questions.This does not mean that the boys lag behind their peers in developing the speech.
"Later" does not mean "never" or "bad." But to know about this feature is worth it, especially since more than half of all logopedic diagnoses are in boys.If a 2-year-old boy does not have everything in order with speech development, you need to start regularly to engage in already at such a young age to avoid serious speech delays in the future.The boys' nervous system is more vulnerable, this should be taken into account, so the development and formation of speech in the baby can last longer.
Opinion No. 3
Onomatopoeia and babbling are full words.
In speech therapy, a word is a sound system that is firmly fixed to a particular object, person, or phenomenon. For example, the syllable "mo" of a one-year-old may mean "wet" or "milk." If it is used only in this sense, then this is the real word. "Half-words" like "moo", "quack", "bang" , "Bobo" - the first and important words in the life of the crumbs, they start talking.
Opinion No. 4
At each age, babies should speak a strictly defined number of words. Man is not a computer. There are no strict norms for the number of words at any given period of its development, just as it is impossible to expect, with the accuracy of a week, when the baby starts walking or collecting a pyramid. The child - first of all individuality, it is necessary to respect the features of the development of a particular baby. In speech therapy there is only an approximate number of words - the minimum that mum can orient to. So, the first recognizable words may not appear until 1 year, and from 1 year to 1 year 4 months it is enough that the kid used 3-4 words in the speech. Many mothers, after hearing about the inflated bar by the number of words (10-20 in 1 year old), are frightened, not considering that the word is a babble related to the subject or phenomenon. In any case, this approach is rather narrow, since evaluating the speech of crumbs, it is necessary to pay attention to the volume of understanding of inverted speech, and the emotionality and curiosity of the baby, and the speech activity that can be manifested by non-stop babbling, mooing, vocalizations. and the formation of speech in the baby is possible only by the number of words that he pronounces, it is impossible.
Opinion No. 5
One boy (girl) was silent until 3 years old, and then he started talking in whole phrases. Who and when the first invented it, we do not know, but the damage from this error is huge. Many mothers, noticing that with the speech of the baby is not all right, pull with a visit to specialists year after year, causing the development of the baby irreparable damage. There are certain laws of development, including speech, which say that by the age of 2 a phrase should be formed for the child (that is, sentences of two words, even if they are babbling). If this did not happen and to 2.5 years, the time to sound the alarm and go to see a speech therapist.
It is doubtful that a child with a strong delay in speech (and, consequently, mental) development suddenly suddenly began to catch up with his peers without special help. To do this, the baby simply does not have the resources, plus the "experience" of speech delay is already large.Lack of resources implies that development breaks its course not accidentally, but under the influence of serious causes: for example, birth trauma, illnesses in the first year of life, etc.
Suppose that such a baby has high compensatory capabilities, and he has overcome these troubles well: he started to sit, walk, and be interested in others in time. But then, even then, his speech develops in one way or another, and that means that there was also walking, babbling, and the first words. About such a crumb does not say that he "was silent" until 3. If the baby really does not publish or almost does not make speech sounds, does not attempt to babble, he does not have onomatopoeias, then he most likely refers to either category deaf children, or to children with coarse forms of psycho-speech underdevelopment (autism, oligophrenia, etc.) It is obvious that he will not be able to speak such a small one himself.Each baby will be useful to visit a speech therapist at 2 years, and then in another year. If a delay in the development and formation of speech in a baby is detected, then, than T he longer to start special classes, the more effective they will be.
Opinion number 6
If you talk too much with the baby, you can do much harm. At first glance, this thesis is at odds with the generally accepted notion that children need to talk constantly and repeatedly. Thanks to a rich speech environment, development is better. However, everything is good in moderation. It happens that the mother "works" in the radio mode - that is, she does not stop talking for a minute, she gets tired of this stream of speech herself, but the worst thing is that it harms the baby. which we communicate with, give them directions, teach something.When the flow of phrases is infinite, the child gets used to the noise screen and simply "turns off".
Often one hears depressed complaints from mothers and grandmothers (dads, as a rule, talk less often with children and more often on business): "He does not seem to hear what they say to him." The baby really listens, but does not "hear" In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to give the child to stay in silence, to work out their own affairs, to learn one or another skill on their own.In fact, as a rule, the non-stop speech of a caring mother is accompanied by a display of developing games, and, consequently, tasks go one after another. The teacher SN Nikitin called these children "organized", that is, simply tortured guardianship and instructions of adults. In silence, it is easier for a person to gather his thoughts, listen to himself, to his desires, feelings.
It is useful to arrange for the development and formation of speech in the baby, "minute of silence" in nature ("Let's keep quiet, what did you hear?"). And during the developmental classes, say only the most necessary: "Let me show you, and then you'll try it yourself." It is better to show more and give the baby to make trial and error.
Opinion number 7
A truncated hyoid frenum can lead to a disruption in the sound quality.
This little ligament under the tongue is of great importance in the development and formation of speech in the baby. With its help, we can pronounce the so-called "upper" sounds - "w", "x", "p", "l", in the pronunciation of which the tongue rises to the hard palate or to the base of the upper teeth. the kid is unable to lift the tongue, lick the upper lip, and in difficult cases even stick out the tongue from the mouth.When the bridle is pruned, it lengthens and it becomes possible to utter the upper sounds.It is usually done at the age of 1-2 months or after 5 years , when the cause of the disturbed sounds in the child is established.
In mild cases, the bridle can be stretched using special logopedic exercises and massage.
Opinion №8
Stumbles in a baby's speech lead to stuttering.
Stammering and stammering - different verbal violations, although the manifestations are very similar. The reasons for the instability are unstable emotional state of the baby, psychological problems, tension, stress. They can be provoked by the rapid pace of speech development, when speech opportunities do not keep up with the thoughts of crumbs. Not for nothing the majority of kids begin to stammer at the age of 2-3 years, during the active formation of speech. Stammering is of a different nature - neurological, and the stuttering in this case, as a rule, has a convulsive nature (there are spasms in the muscles of the articulatory apparatus). The correction of stuttering and stuttering is completely different. Development and formation of speech in the baby play a major and important role in the future psychological state of the crumbs. If it is recommended to create a calm environment when stumbling, training with a psychologist, a psychotherapist and a speech therapist, when stuttering an important role is played by the appointment of a neurologist, the sessions with a specialist speech therapist-zaikologist are shown. But if you do not pay attention to the stumbling in the speech crumbs for a long time, then they can develop into stammering, which is corrected much more difficult and longer.
Having dealt with the myths about the development of children's speech, it will be easier for you to remain calm in the doctor's office, in conversations with a very knowledgeable grandmother and with a friend who wants to "help."
