Question
A child born one and a half months premature is now three years old and loves to learn everything except for speaking. Why doesn’t she like to speak? What should I do?
Answer
Children develop speech at different times, especially boys, who tend to speak later than girls, which is quite common. Another possibility is that if a baby’s motor cells are overly developed, such as walking early or quickly learning various actions, their language system may develop more slowly, resulting in later speech development. Normally, you can take them to play with other children. After all, what adults might not understand, children will have no problem with. Once they start communicating, they will naturally speak more.
