Development of speech may occur in different ways. Some babies slowly form a sentence of two or four words, but these children masterfully recite nearly all the sounds of their native language. Other babies are booming melody of speech, they say long sentences, but do not pronounce many sounds. In such cases, only their mother can understand what her child is talking about. It is noticed that the girls start to talk earlier than boys, probably due to a more plastic nervous system first of all. Often, delay of speech development and speech disorders result because of retraining the child from lefties to right-handed. Modern moms know that babies should not be swaddled. Any restriction on the movements of the child not only inhibits the formation of motor skills, but also the timely development of speech functions. Retraining the child to use a spoon or a pencil in his right hand could lead to a shift of the leading essential functions from the right hemisphere to the left, which has no basis for predicting fine finger movements and articulation system. So often a left-hander, who since childhood had to do all with the right hand cannot correctly pronounce some sounds when he begins to talk. He is awkward in his movements, he cannot dance, do not have a musical ear. But it is equally important that violation into the emotional-volitional sphere of the child is impossible. It is known that every action causes a reaction. The child becomes stubborn or broken: weak-willed, hypochondriac, self-doubt. The English philosopher, educator and psychologist of the XVII century, John Locke in his monograph on the education of babies very accurately pointed out that the human mind and its nature; culture, manners and way of thinking depend on what the parents have laid before the baby was five. The most important period of emotional and intellectual development of babies is between the ages of one and three years. A newborn in the first days of life responds only to the tactile perception of mother's arms, bright light, as well as to sounds, the mother’s and other people’ voice, and what is most important - the intonation. Once a child masters walking, his mother has to teach him dancing. The rhythmic motion contributes to the development of hearing, and thus the development of speech.
