1. Developing language ability of 28-month-old children

Does your baby become a sweeter candy? Baby gets better at making different sounds of speech. While some words are still confused or sound like their own language. It's cute, the baby may not be able to pronounce all the words clearly, but surely the mother can be the baby's translator and the one who understands the baby best.
Around this age, your baby begins to link words into complete sentences. Your baby can be very happy and active because now he can share his observations with you. Your baby will still mispronounce many words with frequency, but you can help her get it right. One of the best ways to do this is to model language for children. For example, you can give your baby a coat and tell him, "Here's my coat. It's a red coat. It's a warm coat" and eventually he'll definitely try saying the word "jacket" yourself.

Whether you are a housewife, you work from home or go to an office, you will feel a lot of pressure if you strive for perfection: the feeling that you have to do it all, and you have to do it all really well. And if you don't regulate your emotions well, postpartum stress and depression are constant risks.
There will be no set standards in housework, parenting, marriage and even work. When you strive towards an ideal, the first thing that costs you is your relationship with your family. It takes a lot of time to keep a house looking sterile, prepare delicious meals, and handle every situation that comes up. You will leave very little time for yourself, your friends, your marriage, and your baby.
If you are in this situation then ask who are you trying to meet these expectations and why? What do you gain by trying to please everyone? You know that perfection isn't everything. Choose satisfaction, evaluate your priorities, and balance work in your home life and everything else. This means getting better organized, streamlining your family routines, learning to say no to certain commitments, and learning to say yes to offers of help (like when grandma wants to help). babysitting for you for an afternoon). That way you can experience more alone time and feel happier with your toddler, and that's exactly why he comes to you.
