Each child’s learning time is different, so we shouldn’t expect our children to take the same amount of time as others. Speech development may be faster or slower for them.
Around four months old, the
baby begins to babble, which helps us communicate better with them. Let's learn a bit about the stages of language development.
Pleasure, joy, and desires are feelings the little one already experiences with great intensity and expresses especially through facial expressions.
However, between four and six months, the baby
rapidly develops their ability to communicate with others and starts to babble their first words. By that time, vision and eye contact, which had been the main channels of communication with the baby, are no longer enough.
Gradually, the child starts to use an endless series of sounds like “oh” and “ah,” and discovers the possibility of joining consonants to vowels, laying the foundation for true
language development. This “audio practice” is a prelude to language for the baby.
The first words are almost always accompanied by gestures that help the child express the message they want to convey and are used as symbols to replace objects or intentions.
This ability to express words is linked to the development of thought: by around eight months, the child is able to connect different visual, tactile, and auditory sensations; the child learns to create a mental image of what they see, hear, or touch and translate it into a word.
At this stage, it is important to talk and interact a lot with the child, read them stories, explain events from
daily life, etc. Even though the baby is still unable to decipher words, they can follow the meaning of a sentence through voice tone, facial expressions, or gestures.
Thanks to this exercise, important information, ideas, and feelings are conveyed to them that are essential for their intellectual and emotional development.
