Concerns of parents:
Are you slow to speak for your age? Are you livid? You have not actively used words to communicate? .....
The following article will provide parents with "great tips" to work with their families to develop language for their children.
1. Start with something your child likes
Starting with an item your child likes will make playing with them easier and more enjoyable than ever. It can be a toy, a favorite food or any activity that makes the child excited.
Take for example a toy car, parents can teach their children about colors, vehicle names, car parts; verbs follow the movement of the car such as go, open (door), climb (slope), wash (car)....

2. Build a language-rich environment
Spend time talking with your child as often and as much as you can. It is bathing time, going to the supermarket, on the way to take the child to school,... The story can revolve around the activities going on, the things the parents/children observe, share the feelings. Parents will be the ones to help their children open the door to the most appropriate language. This will make everyday activities meaningful and lively.
3. Model the right language
If you spend 5 minutes recording what your parents say, you will be surprised at the number of words in each sentence and the speed at which you speak. Most of us are talking too fast when communicating with children. Making a request, not seeing a response are consecutive requests that are repeated. But, is that in line with my current understanding?

The secrets shown by research are: Speak slowly, shorten sentences, emphasize key words, say specific words.
4. Do not lisping with children
During the stages of language development, the first babbling sounds, the baby's baby voice bring great joy to family members. Sometimes we try to imitate when children talk and laugh happily with that game.
However, this will have long-term consequences. Children will slur and stretch their voice inappropriately as they get older. So, be clear when talking, praise when your child is right.
