5. Sharing of successful cases
Hangzhou Baoma @ Doudou Mama recorded the language breakthrough process of her 28-month-old baby: after 3 months of systematic training, he could only say "Mom and Dad" to being able to express short sentences such as "Mom hugs the dog". His experience includes:
• Establish regular “conversation times” (after breakfast/in the shower)
• Use photo cards to simulate scenarios
• Record new words added daily in the "Word Bank"
Important reminder:If your child still has no effective language communication after reaching the age of 3, he must go to the Children's Health Department of a tertiary hospital for professional evaluation. Early intervention (before 3 years old) has the best effect, and in most cases significant improvement can be achieved through scientific guidance.
