Question
At what age do children start to speak?
Answer
0 to 1 year is the preparatory period for children’s language development. During this stage, infants aged 0 to 3 months will communicate with their parents through crying and laughter; infants aged 4 to 8 months will use babbling and simple hand movements (grasping, shaking, slapping, etc.) to engage in intentional communication with their parents. If you are concerned about your child’s language development, it is recommended to interact more with your child, provide a rich language stimulation environment, and observe the child’s developmental progress. If you notice any abnormalities, consult a doctor or professional personnel early on.
