In the first year of raising children, Almost every parent is looking forward to a commemorative moment: The child speaks the first word clearly. Just as learning to walk independently is to physical growth, Language learning is a milestone in psychological development. When many parents communicate with their babies, Will consciously or unconsciously use a large number of reduplicated words-[car] into [car], [rice] into [rice], [dog] into [dog]. There are some parenting views, which are opposed to this kind of baby tone words typically represented by reduplicated words, and even say [this will lead to the lag of children’s language development]. Is this really the case? What what should parents pay attention to when communicating with their babies? Speaking reduplicated words will make the baby’s language development lag behind? This special language with infant accent has a corresponding proper noun-Parentese in the scientific research of developmental psychology. In fact, reduplication is only one of the concrete manifestations of children’s language, which usually has the following characteristics: intonation is higher than normal conversation; Speech more slowly; It may be accompanied by exaggerated expressions. However, Parents who have told their babies not to worry too much. In the related research fields of developmental psychology, There is no strong evidence in what to support the view that [children’s language will lead to children’s language development lagging behind]. Research director of Rutgers University’s Infant Research Laboratory in the United States, April A. Bernasich, who conducted a series of studies on the lag in language development in infants, found that more than 90% of the lag in language development can be attributed to congenital factors. In other words, it is not so much improper cultivation as heredity that causes the lag in language development. Do you want to speak child language to your baby or not? In the process of children learning languages, Lagging language development is usually related to heredity, However, excellent language ability is often accompanied by acquired excellent training. To effectively promote children’s language learning, The language used in communication can only be slightly higher than the child’s current language ability. Give the eight-month-old baby a dry reading of < < Zi Zhi Tong Jian > >, From the perspective of language learning, It is certainly not as effective as using children’s language in playing with him. In fact, Children’s language has a considerable cross-cultural universality, People all over the world speak in the same way as their babies. In the long-term evolution process, children’s language can be preserved on a large scale, which has certain positive significance. Therefore, in the initial stage of children’s language learning, children’s language is a training method worth parents to actively try. Speaking children’s language with babies has what benefits? For children under 18 months old, Children’s language has considerable advantages, It conforms to the development law of children’s language learning. 1. The use of reduplicated words is closer to the primary form of children’s language mastery. Children’s language learning, It basically starts with reduplication, Then I moved to the compound words of “mother hugging” and “playing with cars and cars”, Slow Pronunciation Children speak slower than adults. As vocabulary grows, Children’s use of pronunciation organs and their familiarity with new vocabulary will gradually improve. After all, no one has just learned a few words. 3. High Tone High Tone is the first tone that children master when learning a language. Children are not very skilled in using tone. Children aged two or three can use only about a quarter of the tone correctly as adults. For children, Shout is the basic form of tone, None of them. In some cases, Children scream alone, Can convey emotions and information, You don’t even need to use meaningful specific pronunciation. 4. Exaggerated expressions can attract and keep children’s attention. It also helps to explain the emotional connotation of current words. Children’s language cannot always be said. It is worth noting that, The positive influence of children’s language on children’s language development, It is quite time-sensitive. When the child’s language ability has exceeded the child’s language ability, Its positive effect will be greatly reduced, Even have negative effects. In general, when children reach the age of two and a half, they have mastered the relevant pronunciation of 700 commonly used words, can speak sentences relatively coherently and completely, and have more sufficient and diverse means to express themselves, children’s language should gradually disappear from family life. Is it more important for what to cultivate language ability? In fact, from the perspective of affecting language learning, Children’s language is far from the most important factor. In a three-year study of 40 families, Psychologists explored the effects of different educational methods on infants’ language learning. In the years after the study, The researchers also tested the children’s intelligence level and performance level after school respectively. The main findings of this study are two: 1. The quantity and frequency of communication are more important. The two most related factors to the baby’s language development level are, It is the number and frequency of parents talking to their children. Whether children use children’s language or not is not the core element of teaching children to speak. 2. More communication has a positive impact on intelligence. The stronger the parents’ willingness to communicate with their babies, The more content is exchanged, The more significant the positive impact on children’s intelligence is. This correlation coefficient even exceeds the influence coefficient of family material living standard on children’s intelligence. In the study, In the families where parents talk to their children the most, The child’s intelligence level at the age of 3, It is 1.5 times the intelligence level of children from the least talkative families in the same period. Parents should not make these mistakes in combination with a series of research results and the current parenting environment. We also additionally suggest to parents: 1. Electronic devices are useless. Although the more you talk to your child, the better. But only real people can speak to children. There have been studies that have proved that, So-called video programs that teach children to talk and electronic devices that tell stories to children, It does not play any role in promoting language learning. Listen to the children on the radio, Nor will he develop his outstanding language ability. Electronic pronunciation cannot give timely feedback, If you cannot interact with your child, No expression, There is even less emotional connection. It may play a soothing role. But it is difficult to play a teaching role. 2. Children do not understand, It is also necessary to say more that although children cannot understand or speak for the time being, But as a parent, We still have to stick to a high standard and continue to speak. During the period when the child is born, It is difficult to feedback and retell what you say. However, parents still need to insist, These verbal stimuli are still useful for children. Forty-two minutes after the child was born, There is already a sense of communication and communication. At the same time, some studies have proved that, Tell stories to children over three months old, It can effectively influence their future language learning, If combined with good interaction and intimate physical contact, Instead of talking dry and silly, That would be even better. 3. Parents should standardize their language. Parents should pay attention to improving their language level. Communicate with children in a more standardized language-we cannot expect a teacher who is not good at his own level to teach excellent students in how. In the process of communicating with children, vocabulary should be taught step by step: usually starting with concrete nouns (car, water, mother); Then there are concrete verbs (touch, walk, run); Then there are adjectives (pain, smell). Pronouns (you, me, he) and prepositions (and, or) are usually acquired naturally by children. Don’t teach it too deliberately. Abstract words (peace, ideal, character) are more difficult words and don’t need to be included in the target range of the primary stage of language learning. In addition, for some parents, it is also necessary to pay attention to clear pronunciation and the use of grammar in everyday language. After all, language is never limited to words themselves.
