1.Sandwich response method: When the baby makes a sound, first imitate its pronunciation, then say the correct pronunciation, and finally use a short sentence to expand (if the baby says "car", parents respond to "car-car-red car").
2.Game of intentional mistakes: Deliberately say the names of common items in front of the baby (such as saying bananas are apples) and observe whether there will be corrective reactions.
3.Snack motivation strategy: Place small pieces of snacks in a tightened transparent can, guide the baby to express his needs in words before helping to open them.
