At what age does baby do?

Determining period for the future development of your baby's language: chirping.They begin to appear from the age of 2 months and allow the child to discover the sounds they can emit.You should know that if baby chirping, it is also because he wants to communicate.The construction of his psychic awakening comes above all through the relationship and the exchange with others, which he tries to provoke by touching.At the start, it is not in an intentional desire to transmit a message that he does it, since it has not yet been formed for this, but rather a symbolic request for link.

When a baby shouts, it is to unload and express a state: "I'm hungry", "I'm hot", "I am in pain"...When he chirps, it is more a way for him to describe a well-being or a feeling of satisfaction, that he wants to exchange with us.Around 6-7 months up to one year, will come the babbling which is a repetition of the syllables that he manages to pronounce.From 12 months, the baby will pronounce his first words and enrich his vocabulary to be able to distinguish sentences, from his 15 months.

Other ways to communicate

Even if the chirping intervenes from the first months, know that your child was already talking to you before!From birth, the small movements and the sounds he emits are a way for him to answer you.According to Christel Denolle*, psychologist-psychoanalyst, "the first language for a child is bodily and is part of a pre-linguistic period.He must develop all his bodily capacities so that he can then speak.When baby begins to chirbone, he is in the middle of the discovery phase of the different elements of his body allowing him to produce sounds.His voice, his larynx, his mouth, his tongue, etc ... Once these parameters have been installed, he can organize around language and allow the development of verbal communication.

What if baby does not chirp?

The communication of a baby is made up of a set of things, and if he does not chirp, that does not necessarily mean that we must worry.Pay attention to his voice, his gaze, his body animation, and all the signs he could use to communicate with you.If after observation of all these elements, you feel that something is wrong, you can head to a pediatrician or a child psychiatrist, who will be able to manage both the state of the baby and the anxiety of the parents.

The causes of this delay are multiple and can in some cases hide something deeper, but not always.According to Christel Denolle, "we must not speak of autism right away, because we often go there very quickly, but it is clear that it means that there is something with which the child is not linked.This can be related to neuro-development, but it can come from many other things."Togs and language in general are largely conditioned by the environment and your way of interacting with your child.Talking to him, listening to him and answering him, for example, will make it possible to establish an emotional sharing relationship, a very important factor in the development of language.
