Determining Language Intelligence Capabilities

Indeed, the growth of intelligence of children can be seen from the language skills. When good language development, intellectual normally would be good. Conversely, if too slow it will slow intellectual.

Although, there are other factors that also need attention, namely gross motor development, fine, and social development. "But the most decisive whether or not good intellectual development is normal language development and visual motor," said dr. Widodo Judarwanto, SpA.

If an interruption occurs that causes child's language development is delayed parents need to detect it early on. Because if late will result in more severe disorders. "For that we need to know, at what age children begin to murmur, to respond, to say the word, and so on," Widodo said at the results of cooperation with PT Nakita Endrass Prime Film.

At the age of 0 to 2 weeks is usually the child sounds a murmur, for example "ammmm." 2 months of age increased by one vowel, eg "auuu." 3 months of age can begin to respond to sound. 4 months grew closer again and consonant vowel, for example, "aguuu". Age 4-6 months of language can be seen with shouts and the sound of babbling.

Then, the first word that should arise from the child, around age 7-8 months, for example, da-da-da. 9-12 months she began to understand the spoken word, such as she called mama or papa. 15 months, must already be 4-5 words. And at the age of 2 years, he must have a vocabulary of 20-50.

If in fact the child's ability in contrast to his age it is necessary to watch out. Especially when up to age 10 weeks or 2.5 months of a baby smiling just can not, it was already quite heavy delays. Therefore, the smile is the initial reaction to the surrounding environment. If the age is the response may not appear very influential on the intellectual and delays continue to talk.

Causes of language delay vary widely. What often happens is mental retardation, hearing loss, a lack of stimuli, and distractions while in the womb. Other factors, because of interference with the organ to speak, like noise tongue, teeth, cleft lip, etc..

In fact, stimulation can be parents to avoid delays in speech and language. This stimulation can be done since the fetus, for example, with music or with a touch. After birth, could with eye contact, touch, and exercises. "In addition, because language skills are associated with brain nutrients must also be considered."
