Son of the late talk

 
Not related to gender, may sign the child experiencing hearing problems, autism

As if there is a perception among people who associate sex as an excuse for children who are late to talk.

Not surprisingly, we often hear dialogue like "compared to the girl, the boy was slow to speak '. But is this perception true?

Ask question to the Speech Language Therapists Rehabilitation Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Dr. Basyariatul (Basha) Fathi Othman, but said that view is a myth.


"Children with delayed speech can not be distinguished by gender. Sooner or later the ability to speak, actually very much influenced by the environment, including the selection of games.

"The girls associated with fast smooth talking because of their game as 'play or play to the bottom of the booths' that can be a speech-building process," he said, recently.

According to him, while playing the bottom of it, they would be imitating the way her mother cut vegetables, look after the younger and change clothes. The act of production would be embroidered with verses. If done repeatedly the ability to talk will become more smooth.

"This is different from other boys. Mostly like to play toy cars, or "thief-police '. Not many words can be issued through the game but the sound of 'Vroom' car engine or the word 'run' and 'capture' from his mouth. Factors directly affect their ability to play so to speak.

"So why do I think also the same boy girl play the game because the real shape to build speaking and other cognitive abilities, including the use of hand and foot motor. The use of brain and body movement through the act will accelerate them to learn new words, then build a sentence with, "he said.

However, when the time or the age of the child is identified as delayed speech and to seek help?

"Children can remove the word normal as young as eight months to a year and a half. If later than that, parents can bring children to meet with the speech language therapy to determine whether their children have a problem.

"The talk can only be determined by the Speech Language Therapy because in each case referred to, the child will be examined in detail, including its ability to investigate environmental influences to speak. Parents who suspect children are having a talk, it should be immediately referred to the Speech Language Therapy for being slow to speak may be 'marker' to other problems including hearing problems, autism or other problems problems. More quickly identified, the sooner the child can be helped, "he said.

What is the difference between talking with the speech problem? He said the problems associated talk slow communication factors including the lack of stimulus to speak.

For speech problems, it is common for small children who start learning to speak to produce sounds that 'accent' because this is a normal process. Plate or 'phonological processes' occur until about five to six years in which the speech sounds of children will continue to improve and will match the sounds of adult speech. When children are not able to overcome 'plate' at the age level, the speech problems need to be assisted by the speech language pathologist.

Obviously the baby speak out words - words membebel or 'baby talk' like 'aa', 'aa', 'ahggege', 'bababa', 'dededed', 'mamamam', 'nanana' and so on before being able to produce words means. In an effort to stimulate the children are talking, parents are encouraged to talk to them even when it may be small at the age of the baby.

On the possibility of children delayed speech due to the use of multiple languages ​​at home cause the child may be confused, Dr. Basha said, it does not necessarily occur because children absorb the language like a sponge and language can tell the difference when they fall due.

Initially, some children who speak different languages ​​may have a slight delay in acquiring all of the spoken language. However, this will be resolved naturally. In some cases, parents may find more intelligent children know when to speak many languages.

No doubt the genetic element is another reason why the children delayed speech.

"To avoid a problem talking to the child, parents must ensure that the speech that they use is commensurate with the age of their children. Opportunities for their children listen to language and use must be sufficient funds in their environment.

"If the parents or guardians are always talking fast, using words that do not match their children's abilities to understand, of course, will have negative effects on speech development of their children. The language is necessary for the intellectual development of a child. Intellectual development is influenced by the use of language. If the child is learning to speak slower in the future they will be affected.

"In fact other than a healthy body, good nutrition, physical and mental condition is good, the environment is full of stimulation should be given to children to promote optimal language development," he said.

Clearly the problem is usually a sign to talk to other bigger problems, including hearing problems, or autism.

"Hurry to refer to a specialist can help identify the problems facing children.
