Speech therapist Mundher Al-Osaimi details key steps to address bilingualism and speech delays in children, emphasizing home language and interactive methods.
Speech therapist Mundher Al-Osaimi provided five essential steps to improve children's communication skills, particularly in bilingual children and those with speech delays. During an interview on Al Ekhbariya channel, Al-Osaimi highlighted the importance of focusing on the child's home language, engaging in regular conversations, naming everyday objects using simple language, and reading picture books together.
Al-Osaimi also stressed the significance of providing children with ample opportunities to express themselves and focusing on correct language usage. He emphasized that these strategies require patience and consistency, alongside strict adherence to the screen rule. For children under two years old, no screen time is allowed, particularly mobile phones.
For children between three and five years old, screen time should be limited to one hour daily, divided into segments and restricted to educational content under parental supervision.
