Hello! Encouraging children to speak: When a child speaks, please talk to them immediately and agree. Even if you cannot say a word, you should nod, repeat it to them, and encourage them to say what they want to say. Praise or commend them, avoid excessive criticism and blame, and help children build confidence in learning to speak. By utilizing children's various requests and desires, encourage their enthusiasm.Guidelines:
1. Pronunciation function training: Tongue function training (stretching the tongue), lower lip tip movement (moving the tongue with the lower lip tip), and appendage muscle movement (tongue movement training, lip blowing exercises).
2. Comprehension ability training: Language comprehension training (auditory - e.g., naming), visual (seeing pictures, real objects, etc.), and non-verbal comprehension training (understanding gestures, distinguishing between frequently heard sounds and music rhythms by clapping).
