You can support your child’s language development step by step according to age:
From birth to 2 years:
- Talk to your baby continuously during daily activities (feeding, bathing).
- Use simple words and gestures and interact with their expressions.
- Repeat words often and respond to their babbling.
- Read to your baby using books with pictures and name objects, adding new words gradually (like: “This is your ball.”).
From 2 to 4 years:
- Speak in clear, short sentences and repeat words for reinforcement.
- Name objects and describe them (for example: “This is a red ball.”).
- Encourage your child to name familiar objects and use two-word phrases.
- Involve them in singing and interactive games.
From 4 to 6 years:
- Listen carefully to your child and introduce new words and directions (e.g., “Walk slowly,” “Turn right”).
- Encourage them to retell simple stories and events and describe pictures in books.
- Watch educational cartoons and discuss the characters and events with them.
