1. br intl may provide
child
ren with one of the very first building blocks in acquiring language.? more and more, we are learning that
speech
development begins to a certain extent before babies are born. communicating with
baby
in utero first of all, there is no need to read shakespeare or philosophy textbooks. simply talking to your
baby
throughout the day or when winding down for the evening and recapping the day?s events for your
baby
is enough. read a book to your
baby
. ?is is also a great opportunity to start preparing for when
baby
will be here. getting into the habit of reading to your
baby
before he arrives can help you continue that activity once
baby
is born. ?is is another great way to boost
speech
development in young
child
ren. you can also sing to your
baby
or play music for him. it is not necessary to use headphones or play at extreme volumes. in fact, placing speakers too close to ?ings to know about
speech
development in babies and young
child
ren: a
baby
begins communicating long before he starts to talk. his smile, laugh, and cry, for example, are all forms of communication. you can learn a lot about what your
baby
needs by watching and learning his cues. babies develop
speech
and language skills at different paces. just because your
child
isn?t doing or saying something another
child
is does not mean something is necessarily wrong. however, any concerns should be raised with your primary care provider for further assessment. delays in language are the most common form of developmental delays. these can be temporary, or your
child
may require the help of
speech
therapists. if you are worried your
child
may be experiencing any delays in
speech
development, consult a physician. you will likely be asked questions about your
child
and how they interact with you and others. your
child
may also be given a hearing test and evaluated by a
speech
therapist. the belly can overstimulate the fetal brain or ears. too much noise can have an adverse effect, so be cautious and keep the music at a moderate volume. while talking to your
baby
inside the womb has its benefits, there is no need to worry if you?ve been lax in your pregnancy chatter. ?ere is no evidence that there are any long-term effects for providing sounds outside of average daily sounds for a healthy
baby
. what this information does provide, however, is a possible link for treating
child
ren at risk for auditory processing disorders before they are even born. if researchers are able to determine sounds that can help develop
speech
in utero for these babies, an entire new world can be opened up in
speech
development care. but until then, it won?t hurt to provide some auditory stimulation for your unborn
baby
. outside of helping you bond with your little one, it just may give him a jump start on his
speech
and language development. fall 2017 | pink ? blue 27
