Characteristics of language development at the age of 3 to 4 years, and characteristics of language

The age of three to four is a leap in the child's language development, when he has basically mastered all the pronunciation of his mother tongue, his vocabulary has increased very quickly, and he can communicate with his parents or peers without barriers in simple language. It's just that because the vestibular function of the brain and the development of muscle tone in the mouth are not mature enough, he has not yet reached the level where he can speak immediately when he thinks of it, so he is not very fluent in narration, and sometimes there will be intermittent, reversed word order, and even stuttering. And many of his pronunciations may not be particularly standard, but it doesn't matter, give him the right language environment, let him speak more, practice more, these will not be a problem in the end.

In addition, at this time, the baby especially likes to listen to stories, often pesters parents to tell stories to themselves, sometimes likes to learn the animal in the story, and will use their imagination to make up some very bizarre stories. In short, at this time, the child really loves to talk, even if he plays alone, he will often talk to himself.

Therefore, if you want to improve your child's language ability, parents should create a relaxed conversation atmosphere for him at ordinary times, communicate and interact with him more, only in such an atmosphere, children will want to speak, willing to speak, and will experience the fun of speaking. Otherwise, the oppressive environment will only make the child unable to function normally due to nervousness, and even have a situation such as talking upside down and stuttering. In addition to deliberately communicating with children, when playing games or in various life scenarios, you should also consciously ask your children more questions, so that they can think more and express their ideas.

In addition, parents should tell their children more stories and guide them to repeat some simple sentences. Because for children at this stage, listening to stories can not only enrich their vocabulary, but also improve their language comprehension, memory and expression skills. However, storytelling is also skillful, and if parents just read out the storyline dryly, children can easily find it boring and lose interest, or even drowsy.

On the contrary, only when parents tell the story in a rich and interesting way can the baby be engaged and impressed. Therefore, parents should pay attention to choosing stories that are in line with the characteristics of their children's age, and use expressions and gestures to express them more vividly.

By the age of 3 and a half, children can already understand sentences with three or four key words, and children begin to understand words that are not commonly used, such as "transport" and "horror", and can understand sentences with four key words, such as "the baby's red watercolor pen fell to the ground". In addition, he began to like to hear you say figurative sentences.

Able to speak sentences with a variety of structures Your child will now be able to say sentences with a more diverse structure that can clearly tell you whether things happened in the past, present, or future, such as saying "The sun is out today."

Start to have your own ideas Children will choose topics to communicate with, and sometimes after asking questions, they may not listen carefully to your explanations and continue to think on their own.

A child can imitate the voices and ways of speaking of different people, for example, he can imitate a robot speaking in a slow, deep voice.

By the time the child is about 3 and a half years old or 4 years old, he can understand sentences with six words By the time he is 4 years old, he can understand more and richer words, he can understand sentences with six words, and he can understand basically all everyday conversations.

Children may change their way of speaking according to different people Children may change the way they speak to different people, for example, they may speak very simply when facing a baby, they may become polite when talking to a kindergarten teacher, and they will use polite words such as "thank you" and "trouble".

When playing with children, children will discuss with them who will play first, such as "you slide first, I'll swing first", or bargain, such as "If you ask me to decide what to build, I'll let you play with blocks". In addition, he will self-criticize and praise.

At about 4 years of age, a child's language skills begin to develop rapidly. Now he can tell stories in sentences that include more words, and he can tell you not only what happened, but also what happened in your dreams and fantasies. Children's pronunciation level is gradually improved throughout early childhood, children over 4 years old are generally able to master all the pronunciation of their own language, after that, the pronunciation begins to be stable, tends to be dialectal, that is, begins to be limited to their own or local pronunciation:

Around the age of 4, phonological awareness develops significantly, and gradually begins to consciously and consciously approach pronunciation; 4 5 years old is also one of the periods of rapid development of vocabulary, imaginary words.

The growth is relatively rapid, and it can be seen that the age of 4 to 5 is the active period of vocabulary richness. With the increase of age, the length of sentences used by young children tends to be extended, and the number of words gradually increases, and the virtual sentences containing 7 11 words are the majority at the age of 4 5.

Specifically, it is manifested in the following halls:

1. Social behavior. Babies can ask simple questions, such as why they wash their hands before eating. If these aspects are tested, it means that the baby's intellectual development is better.

2. Science and Mathematics. I am more interested in some physical geographical creatures, such as caterpillars.

It is a problem like butterfly larvae, and the process can be described very simply.

3. Language. Babies can retell stories and share books or cartoons they have read with other children.

4. Social adaptation. The baby can adapt to the group, and in the kindergarten class, he will be brave enough to raise his little hand next to him to ask questions and express himself.
