Language development

After three months of birth, the baby will gradually use "smile" to talk and produce vowels of "ah, oh, oh" The better the baby's mood, the more he can pronounce. When the baby is in high mood, parents should talk with the baby, send more voice to the baby, and let the baby have more opportunities to practice pronunciation. Let your baby go outdoors more, listen to birds, listen to the sound of running water, listen to the sound of wind blowing trees and leaves, and constantly tell your baby where the sound is made. Make vowel sounds for your baby and let him imitate his mother and father. The development of baby language has certain rules. The first stage is the perception stage of language.
