Many children start speaking around the age of two but are not able to speak properly. Many times, some mistakes of parents are responsible for children speaking late. If your child is just two to three months old. Do not make such mistakes in the future, otherwise it will take time for the child to develop his speaking skills. Know what those mistakes are.

Feeding puree instead of solid food

Babies are introduced to solid foods and cereals after they are 6 months old. But many mothers make puree and feed fruits, pulses and grains to their children. Due to which the muscles of cutting and chewing do not develop properly. When a child bites and chews food, the muscles of the tongue become stronger. Due to which speaking skills develop quickly.

giving water from sippy cup

Many mothers use sipper cups to feed water to their babies. In which there is straw. Due to drinking from such sippy cups, the child faces difficulty in developing the swallowing process. Due to which the child speaks late.

Let the child use his tongue

For the sake of cleanliness, do not let the child clean his mouth immediately after feeding, rather let the child use his tongue. When children use their tongue, their palate develops. Which makes it easier for them to speak in the future.

Generally, children start speaking their first words at the age of 11 to 14 months. It is normal for a child to speak at least 40 words a day till he is one and a half years old. Along with this, every day the child listens to the conversation and hears some new words and his vocabulary increases.
