[Parents]: speech of the child
Hello!
"Lyalya", "aunt", "ghouls", "yum-yum", - mummy sings, talking with their kids. Touches when looking from the side, of course. It goes without saying that an infant of three months old is physically unable to speak with words like "cro-co-dile-chic," so simplistic, symbolic words like "aga" and "top-top" come to the rescue.
However, very often parents meet, for unknown reasons, delaying the transition from the "infantile" language to ordinary words. I am extremely surprised when adults with 3-4 year olds already talk to adults, using primitive designs of the first year of life.
I do not know the exact terms when the child's speech apparatus is physically ready to reproduce ordinary words. But it is obvious that this time comes before 3 years. The famous pediatrician Dr. Komarovsky says that children's babble should not be encouraged after 6 months.
I think it's easier to teach "right" words, than to retrain and explain later that "av-av" is henceforth called a "dog". The variant of "tank" is also not ideal, but at least it has a similarity to the correct one.
It is known that the tongue is formed of muscle tissue. In this case it is logical to assume that, like any other muscle, it is possible (and necessary!) To train to pronounce what follows, and not what is easier. If you've ever tried to practice in terms of speech, you probably noticed that with each new "approach" it's getting better.
I for fun trained my children to speak in 3 years "deoxyribonucleic acid" :))
