At what age does it become normal for a child to start talking? Does it have anything to do with IQ?

Is the sooner or later a baby starts talking related to his or her IQ?

A few days ago, I saw a short video like this in WeChat Moments: A mother asked her baby to call her mom and dad. To be honest, seeing this situation reminds me of how my children were learning to talk when they were young.

It is true that after the birth of my eldest son, I did not have enough experience in all aspects, so I would be very worried if there was any gap between my child and his peers.

Just like you asked above about how old a child can speak normally, you are worried about the child's language problem. In fact, it troubled me for a long time when taking care of Dabao. Some mothers said that their children's delayed speech was due to low IQ, which also made me very worried.

But in the end, my child did not have a low IQ as they said, but his academic performance was not good. Therefore, we can think that the sooner or later one starts to speak is just a matter of development and has nothing to do with the level of IQ.

After all, IQ is inherited from the parents themselves, coupled with their own acquired education. So, we return to the question of speaking.

We don’t know that it is normal for your child to speak. Under what circumstances is it normal? But we can understand the performance of children at different ages during their language growth. After some research, we can find that after birth, children can only communicate with their parents through simple crying or independently created baby talk.

Slowly by about 6 months, children may imitate other people's speech. And around 8 months to one year old, it is possible to call them mom and dad.

Slowly, the child will learn more things and have some communication with his mother. So if a child pronounces a syllable normally, it may be around eight or nine months old.

If your child starts talking and playing, you don’t need to worry too much. It may indicate that the child’s own development is slow. During this process, these methods can also be considered for certain relief.

1. Have more simple communication with your children

If you can talk to your children more, then they will inevitably have the desire to talk, and in the process of imitation, they will Work harder.

2. Expose children to different environments

For children, they will also have the desire to express themselves in different environments. So if conditions permit, we can take our children out for more walks, let them get in touch with different groups of people, and learn how other people communicate, which will also stimulate their inner desires.

Based on my personal experience, the sooner or later the baby starts talking is not necessarily related to the IQ, because there are individual differences in the development of children, and the time for each child to speak is different. However, according to relevant theory and practice, if a child cannot speak the most basic words about mom and dad at one and a half years old, and cannot speak short sentences at two and a half years old, he or she should be checked for language development disorders.

When I gave birth to Dabao, I couldn’t sit well during confinement, so I had to see a doctor for a while. It was not popular at that time to read a lot of parenting books during pregnancy, so I didn’t understand many things.

When the hospital checked at the time of birth, the child's development was normal. In my mind, I felt that the child would grow up slowly and there would be no problem. It would just be a matter of time.

But in terms of language development, he unconsciously pronounced the sounds of mom and dad when he was 7 or 8 months old. We thought there was no problem with his organ development, so there was no need to worry. However, he was different from the little boy downstairs who was only 10 days older. Compared to, it feels a lot worse.

When he was one and a half years old, he still didn’t know how to call us mom and dad. He would look at us when he needed us, and would also throw himself into my arms for a sense of security, but he didn’t know how to call us mom.

That little boy can speak a lot of words. In my family, he can only call me mom, dad, brother, but he can still call me brother.

Being with that boy, everyone can feel that he is much different.

When he was one and a half years old, his grandma came from his hometown to take him with him. She was lonely, so she talked to him every day. She spoke more dialects, and he spoke a lot more, but he couldn't understand clearly, so she asked me to translate.

When I was 2 and a half years old, I was sent to a small class. The teacher asked me if I had just come from my hometown.

The teacher reported that he was very receptive in class and could not understand what he wanted to express, but he could feel it. As long as he was taught once, he was very anxious to express it.

After the age of 3, his language entered a period of rapid development, and his expressions were clear and logical. Currently in 6th grade, he likes performances, speeches and debates the most. All the teachers who have taught him say that he is very smart and can learn things quickly, but he is not practical enough.

As for the little boy, in terms of expression and learning alone, he was worse than him.

Therefore, the sooner or later the child starts talking is not necessarily related to the child's IQ.

If there are no problems with the development of language organs, hearing organs, and tongue, then the sooner or later you speak has a lot to do with the language environment.

Comparing my Dabao with that boy of the same age.

The boy’s family sells steamed buns downstairs from ours. Because of the business, his grandparents, parents, and uncle live in a total of six people.

Because he sells things, he comes into contact with many people every day, and there are people around him talking all the time.

My family is a family of three. My husband and I work in front of the computer to prepare lessons and read materials, and we talk less. He and I are the kind of people who don't like to talk much, especially to very young children, and I don't have the consciousness to talk to him non-stop to stimulate his language development.

After his grandma arrived when he was one and a half years old, he knew a lot more words, but his pronunciation was not accurate because grandma spoke a dialect. As the old man is getting older, he can repeat some words many times without even knowing it, which inadvertently stimulates his language development.

This is just like when we learn our mother tongue, why does each child have a different accent after speaking? This is because the pronunciation of the language environment around him is different, and what stimulates him is also different.

Students are very afraid of learning English. I have never been abroad, but everyone who has been knows that if you want to speak English, you will soon be able to speak English in a foreign environment. Learn to speak English.

We already have experience with our second baby. After our second baby was born, we had grandparents, parents, and older brothers at home, and our grandpa took him downstairs for a walk every day. So Erbao is only one year old now, but he can pronounce a lot of syllables unconsciously. For example, when I say goodbye to my brother every morning, he will subconsciously say a sound similar to "bye" in conjunction with his movements.

The language environment and language stimulation all affect the sooner or later the child speaks to a certain extent.

According to common standards, mothers can observe whether their children repeat the syllables of their parents at 7 or 8 months of age. Between 8 months and 12 months, if there is a need, he will express it consciously. If an adult teaches him something, he will quickly understand and respond.

Just like my second child, when he eats bread, you first say, give it to mom, and then point your finger to his mouth, and he will stuff the bread into your mouth.

When he wants to be held by his mother, if it were his grandparents, he would clearly cry for his mother. My brother said it was a bit like screaming consciously.

My brother sometimes drinks a drink. When he sees the bottle, he will take it and put it in my hand, meaning to open it for him.

I didn’t list what must be achieved in a specific month because each child’s development may be delayed by one or two months, so mothers don’t need to worry about comparing the standards of a specific month.

If some children develop late, like my eldest child, a normal one-and-a-half-year-old child should be able to pronounce the basic sounds of mom and dad, not consciously, but they must have made them. If not, pay attention to observation. If the language does not improve significantly around the age of 2, but other behaviors are normal, you can wait patiently. After the age of 2 and a half, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to see the development of the tongue, hearing, and language organs. If there are problems at the age of 3, you can diagnose whether there is developmental delay.

By the age of 3, children can clearly express their needs and can quickly learn the children's songs taught by the teacher.

We have just analyzed the problems that children may encounter in their language development, so parents can try the following methods when cultivating their children to speak.

(1) Try to slow down your speaking speed and speak repeatedly. We adults are used to speaking, and everyone can understand it, but children are different. He can only accept the simplest syllables in the early stages.

When talking to your child, you must be particularly patient, speak slowly, and repeat to him the syllables you want him to learn.

(2) Provide children with a speaking environment. A child's slow speech has a lot to do with the environment. If an old man takes care of a child and only likes to watch TV, give the child a bunch of toys, or the whole room is very quiet, then the child will have no external stimulation and will definitely learn language slowly.

Children actually learn language very quickly. You can demonstrate to your child with the actions and talk to your child when you have time to stimulate his language reception system.

(3) Take him to a crowded place. A friend of mine told me that when she was a child, she loved to take her children to the vegetable market because it was right in front of her house.

No matter what status people have, they need to buy food and cook. You can meet all kinds of people there. After seeing more, the children become bolder and have a strong desire to express themselves. Her daughter has strong language skills since she was a child. She has won many awards in university, went to the Netherlands as an exchange student, and went to the United States to study as a graduate student after graduation. She is an outstanding girl with both good looks and talent.

The same is true for the child selling steamed buns I introduced earlier. His language development was earlier than others because there were many people talking around him.

Hello, based on your brief description; usually the sooner or later a child speaks has little to do with intellectual development. This is a normal trend in the development of the baby's language function. There are certain differences in the development of each baby's language function sooner or later. Relatively speaking, female babies may develop earlier, about half a year to one year earlier than normal male babies. If the child's language development function develops late, it is recommended to take the child to a professional child growth and development department to evaluate the child's language function and determine the current situation.

Nowadays, many parents pay special attention to their children's speech problems. They believe that if their children speak late, it means they are not smart and have a low IQ. Is there any scientific basis for this idea? Is the sooner or later a child speaks, related to his or her IQ? In response to this problem, let’s first look at how old a child can speak normally?

1. Children will make some murmuring sounds when they are about 3 months old.

2. Around 7.8 months, the child can start to say some repeated words, such as "dad" and "mom", and begin to imitate adults' speech.

3. Children can speak some words and sentences when they are 1 to 1.5 years old.

4. When a child is 1 and a half to 2 years old, he can speak some simple daily sentences and is in the language explosion period.

5. After children reach the age of 3, they can generally complete some daily conversations, master local dialects, and express mature language.

Generally speaking, children’s language development follows the above five rules. The sooner or later they speak has a lot to do with the child’s living environment and the family’s education methods. It has nothing to do with IQ. It can only be said that those who speak early will have relatively sound brain development, the child's imitation ability will be enhanced, and the child will learn to speak faster. However, this also depends on whether the family provides the child with a certain language atmosphere and stimulates the child's brain development, so that the child can speak. earlier than other children of the same age.

1. Encourage children to talk more and teach them patiently

2. Read more picture books to children, listen to more children's songs, and increase their vocabulary

3. You can buy an early education machine to stimulate children's interest in learning languages

4. Take your children to crowded places to get to know new people and things, stimulate their brain development, and increase their cognition

5. You can let your children watch some cartoon animations and imitate the voices of animated characters, which is beneficial to their language development
