The development of infants' language ability and oral English: from imitation to clear pronunciation

Language development is closely related to oral development, and the key to the development of baby's language ability lies in sound, imitating adult's mouth shape and making correct pronunciation. Is the baby really "Lickitung"? How to treat Lickitung?

Mini game

Playing flute, whistle, paper flute, blowing water with a straw and other games that need to be played with "blowing" and "spitting" actions. In addition, there are medical trainers for lips or tongue, but they are more suitable for children in childhood.

Practice "licking"

If parents find that the baby's tongue is not flexible, they can add some "licking" exercises in their daily life.

Tianfu food

Adding complementary food in advance is the most natural and simple stimulus to oral development. Through different food states, from muddy, mushy, liquid, granular, segmented to solid, and from soft to hard, every time a new food is added, it is a new stimulus to the baby's mouth.

Parents' encouragement

Before the age of 4, the baby's mouth has not yet matured. Don't rush to correct it. Try to say to him, "I don't quite understand. Could you please explain clearly? " Or "you speak too fast for me to understand" and other guided training.
