From 4 to 8 months, they start babbling, which is part of the language preparation period. Children actually go through a ladder of language development, starting with just learning single words and ending with being able to tell stories with their words.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Babies from 9 months to 1 year generally start producing their first meaningful word, such as &#8220;ba,&#8221;\u00a0 &#8220;ma,&#8221; or &#8220;ball ball.&#8221; From 1 to 2 years old, their understanding and vocabulary expression increase greatly, with the accumulation of single words forming two-word phrases, such as &#8220;mommy drink&#8221; and &#8220;eat bun bun.&#8221;<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 2 to 3 years old, children generally speak in longer sentences and can express different needs. For example, they like to add a word to the two-word phrases, forming three-word combinations, such as &#8220;Daddy eat bun&#8221; and &#8220;I want grandma.&#8221; Some children start using adjectives, such as &#8220;sister eats a big apple.&#8221;<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

sentences and use more conjunctions and start to narrate things logically, that is, by telling stories.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the language development of young children is slightly different for each person, but through empirical research, we also have some important reference indicators to see if a child may have a speech delay.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first is that there are no words at 2 years old.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, no sentences appear before the age of three.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third is that speech is unclear and hard to understand after 3 years old,<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fourth, sentences are still unclear after 5 years old.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the child is not speaking more and more as they grow, parents should seek the help of a professional to assess and train them as soon as possible.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph
