Is it really a blessing for children to talk late?

That's not true. There is a folk saying in China that "distinguished people speak late". In fact, there is no scientific basis for the saying that "distinguished people talk late". Adults just want their children to be beautiful.

In fact, "people who speak late" are only a few people, and their "speaking late" belongs to the normal category and does not need special treatment. However, 1-2 years old is a critical period for children's language development. Experts emphasize that if children speak late, parents should attach great importance to it and let professional doctors make a correct assessment of their language development. If parents just wait with luck, they may delay the best opportunity and lead to regret.

The reasons why children speak late are:

1, development factors: According to experts, some children will appear temporary and transient backwardness in the process of language development, which is called developmental language delay. Most of these children can understand what adults say, respond appropriately according to their age, and execute instructions well, but they talk less or later, their vocabulary is not as good as their peers, and their language expression ability is backward.

2. Disease factors: Common disease factors that affect children's language development retardation include hearing impairment, mental retardation, neuromuscular lesions of vocal organs, autism, etc.

Experts remind that children with the above diseases should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Once diagnosed, we should treat it as soon as possible, or we can restore some or even most of our speech ability. At present, audiological examination can make a definite diagnosis when the baby is 3 months old. Once diagnosed, early rehabilitation treatment can help the child recover certain hearing ability and lay a good foundation for his future speech ability.

In addition, the number of children with autism seems to be increasing, which may be due to the gradual development of early screening for autism in China. Autistic children lack active language with communicative nature. Although the cause of this disease is not clear, their language development track is gradually recognized and mastered by people.

There are children with normal hearing, who just don't talk, even if they talk, they don't know what they are talking about, which is more like talking to themselves, or they just turn a blind eye to what they like and dislike, as if they can't hear. Parents are advised to take their children to seek help and evaluate them in time. Under the guidance and leadership of professionals, these children can acquire language skills through timely, targeted and long-term training and treatment.
