How to Stimulate the Toddler Language Skills


Every toddler language development has its own development pace. With observe we can find out too late or not language development.
Toddlers 1 year should have been able to utter words, if your toddler is only able to voice their vowels (vowels) or appears he did not understand many of your words, it is now time to consult a specialist. Weak hearing is the most common cause of expressive and receptive language delays. The presence of fluid in the ear or chronic ear infections can also affect the infant's ability to capture the sound and understand speech. Also likely to suffer from apraxia (disorder that causes muscles in the face of the mouth can not pronounce words correctly) and delay the development such as cerebral palsy or autism. Delayed speech, based on many factors, and not all of them have long term consequences. Hereditary factors also play a role. Toddlers who talk slow are often due to a family member who is also slow to speak.
The average number of words a toddler. Children who talk fast and not considered a child genius or have more intelligence, and vice versa, children who could speak would slow to catch up quickly. Here's a guide that can be observed.

    
Toddlers 12 months. Could give 1 to 5 of words and understand 25 words or more. He is wearing his body gestures such as waving and pointing and can follow simple directions.
    
Toddlers 18 months. Generally, children this age are able to understand at least 50 words and say at least 30 words. Toddlers also understand in some kind of word that is often heard.
    
Toddlers 24 months. Ability to merge two or three words into sentences, such as "What's that?" Or "ma'am drink milk." The number of vocabulary that can be mastered more than 100 words.
Although your toddler may just say a few words clearly, he understands what you say. You will realize the acceptance of this language in action when he successfully follow the simple instructions from you, such as "Come on son, bring cangkirmu here!". At this age, toddlers should also be familiar with him know his name, could refer to the object, identified several members of his body and waved his hands to separate.
Here are some ways to stimulate speech development for toddlers more smoothly and he likes to talk:

    
Tell your busy life. People say out loud what you are doing and throw the questions to toddlers. "Keep talking, though you seem silly because toddlers can not answer," says Pam Quinn, speech therapists at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, Chicago.
    
So 'role model'. When your toddler says "grandchild" to milk, use the correct pronunciation when you respond, "It Susumu." Develop a mastery of the language by adding new words, eg "Susumu white color, very good." This strategy will not only increase the number of vocabulary but also teaches how combinations of words. But avoid correcting her. "Showing a child a mistake can make it uncomfortable. Even the child's age and even then may begin to feel that whatever he does is always wrong in the eyes of mothers, "said Pam again.
    
Acting "stupid". Give toddlers a chance to ask and express their needs before you give him. For example, when playing, he was rolling the ball and you know he wants you to return the ball to him, just pretend you do not understand, give puzzled expression and asked, "You have to what?" Pause as this will encourage him to communicate.
    
Stay real. Avoid excessive to say the word or speak in slang language or lingua franca that is not understood toddlers aged 1-2 years. Parents should speak in regular sentences and in correct language, which will help children understand how to combine words into meaningful sentences.
