Question

My baby is almost 1 year and 8 months old but still can’t speak, except for “Dad,” “Mom,” and “Thank you.” He can understand what adults say and imitate expressions. How can I help my child develop language skills?

Answer

  1. Avoid putting pressure on your child’s language development, as this may affect their emotions and learning motivation.
  2. Give your child ample time and space to practice language expression; it is a gradual process of improvement.
  3. Offer positive encouragement, such as material rewards or emotional embraces, to boost their motivation to learn language.
