how do i teach my boy to talk?

Question

toddler
sounds

Answer 1

a lot is about interaction and just talking, singing, reading, looking at very simple baby books with colors, basic objects and shapes...animals in the zoo, at home, places to visit...then just talk. The first song my daughter learned was the ABC song..they won't know what they are singing until they are older but they will be way ahead of their classmates - just knowing that song. If your son is not responding to loud noises like slamming doors or has had numerous ear infections...you should get him checked for a hearing loss of some sort. My daughter has a visual learning disability and we talk A LOT!

Answer 2

Speak to him as if he were a person and not a baby. I know this sounds kind of obvious, but I'm a single mother and I sometimes forget that my daughter is only 4. We talk about everything from work to school to other kids at the playground and some people have commented that we argue like sisters. I make it a point to talk to her as much as possible and involve her in decision making (food, clothing, etc). Instead of asking her yes or no questions, I ask her what type of food she would like to eat, what color of shirt she wants to wear, how does she want her hair done, and other small questions like that.

We also have a non-negotiable story time routine every night. Our local library has Disney collection books with approximately 30 stories a piece. Each story is about 25 pages long and has pictures. We read one story every night, no matter what. I think that reading to her has helped her vocabulary significantly and she constantly impresses adults with her verbal skills. It's also nice to read to her because we have our special time every evening and she learns to appreciate literature.

Answer 3

Depends upon the age. If your child is 18 months or older and has not yet said a recognizable word, you should see a doctor. It could be a sign of hearing trouble. Otherwise, just read to your child everyday, talk to him regularly in complete words and sentences (not baby talk), and point out and label simple objects that he sees on a regular basis like "cup" or "dog." Sometimes a book that has items labeled in it is a good tool. Baby Einstein's "Baby Wordsworth," "Baby McDonald," and "Neighborhood Animals" were all good tools for us when learning to talk too. Good luck.

Answer 4

Talk to him! Talk to him just as though he understands you. And work at teaching him simple words..get a ball and tell him it's a ball. Say it every time you touch the ball. But just keep talking to him. Have whole one-sided conversations with him all the time.
Be specific sometimes, like with 'apple' or 'orange' when you are feeding him those things, but mix it up. The more you talk to him and sort of 'expect' a reply, the more he'll pick up. You'll feel like an idiot sometimes, but he'll learn. All those conversations that you used to have in your head with yourself? Have them out loud with him. He'll get it.

Answer 5

If you're wanting him to talk so you can communicate with him, so that you'll know what he wants, then I think a good thing to do is sign-language. Even if your son isn't deaf, he can still learn. It also lowers tantrums, instead of throwing a fit, he can use a sign to tell you what he wants. And studies show that it doesn't delay your child speech, it just improves it!!! I have 2 kids, one is 3 the other is 1, and they both know a little bit of sign-language. I think it's the best thing, I've ever done for my kids. The youngest now tells me that he wants to eat, and what he wants, instead of crying. It's fun, and easy to learn, you and your child could do it together!!!!!


If you're interested you can check out this website, that sells sign-language videos, that are fun, musical, colorful, and very entertaining for people of all ages!!!! My kids love them!!!!

Answer 6

Talk to him a lot. When you do things together explain to him exactly what you are doing. Dont use baby talk. what i mean is pronounce everything the right way. so when he starts talking he will speak clearly. if he wants some thing like a juice you say juice, would you like some juice? and he will catch on. also if he isnt talking yet, dont worry, some babies just take a little more time to get the courage to speak their first words. he'll get it and you will do great. :)

have fun and enjoy your baby!good luck

Answer 7

It depends on his age. When my son wasn't talking at 2, he first got diagnosed as deaf, then on further testing it turned out he has autism. He's 22 now and has never spoken a word, though he does use his voice to yell when he's angry, or sing a kind of gibberish when he's happy. He types quite well. Another child I know of wasn't speaking at 3, and his problem turned out to be something with synapses in his brain. He got a few months of therapy and recovered completely.

Answer 8

There are numerous documented benefits and advantages of teaching children to read early on, and teaching them to reading using phonics and phonemic awareness instructions. It is clear that early language and reading ability development passes great benefits to the child as they progress through school at all grades, and that early language and reading problems can lead to learning problems later on in school.

Answer 10

children learn by what they see and hear. The more you talk to the child the faster the child will talk. They learn by vibration first..like they may learn money is bad, not enough, to much etc before they can say it. It is the vibration that is attached to the words they hear that helps them understand what a word means and it is your interaction talking with them that helps them pronounce the words.
