From the author: A child’s speech needs to be developed even before he is born. Greetings, happy parents! I’ll tell you a secret: the child’s speech needs to be developed even before he is born. And how is this, you ask? And I will answer you! Firstly, you need to start talking to the baby in the womb. Since the baby begins to hear from 17 weeks, while a full-fledged hearing aid is formed by approximately 24-25 weeks of intrauterine development. And not only mom needs to talk, but also dad and grandparents. It is useful for the future baby to hear different voices; after birth it will be easier for him to distinguish between them. You can read fairy tales, sing lullabies. During pregnancy, it is important to remember that the baby hears everything that the mother hears and feels. Secondly, give the future baby the opportunity to listen to pleasant melodic, calm, harmonious music. On the Internet, I read a lot of articles saying that you can simply listen to any music that the parents themselves like. So, caring parents, do not believe such articles; they were definitely written by amateurs, but not by specialists. Music therapy is a separate topic, and now I will not reveal it, but if you are interested in it, write, and I will reveal in one of the following articles the influence of music on the hearing and psyche of a person, and in particular a child. And today, I’ll just tell you what the future baby should listen to: Mozart, Schubert, Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin, Brahms, Glinka, Beethoven, Lyadov, Rachmaninov, G. Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Liszt, Prokofiev, classical jazz, Chinese folk music , Spanish guitar, sounds of nature... I recommend listening to music every day, at least 15 minutes. Thirdly, while waiting for the baby, it would be good not to start a showdown in a raised voice. The child not only hears everything that the mother hears, but also feels, worries, gets upset along with the mother. According to experimental data conducted about 20 years ago in Belfast, when a mother experiences stress, the child shudders and his heart rate increases. Of course, if parents constantly argue and speak in a raised voice, the child will get used to and love these sounds. Accordingly, after birth with the development of the baby, you should not be surprised why he is so loud and scandalous. Conclusion: by talking with the future baby, listening to melodic music, regulating their emotions and tone, parents help the baby develop speech, but not in the literal sense of the word. The future baby does not understand what his parents are talking to him about, what he hears. He simply gets used to sounds, speeches, sensations, and the field of birth, it will be easy for him to recognize words, intonation, and, accordingly, repeat them.
