“It is filled with the expertise of Director Jang Jae-jin of the Sol Language and Hearing Research Institute, who has 10 years of experience.”
→ The author of this book began studying speech therapy for his own child, who was hard of hearing since birth, and now runs a speech therapy clinic and teaches future speech therapists.
This book is filled with language stimulation games that are as heartfelt as the author's honest career.
The author kindly shares the method that saved countless parents and children who came to the speech therapy room with their son, whose speech development was slow and inevitably affected other developments. This method was selected and selected from 10 years of field experience.


* Includes development points for each age group from 0 to 6 years old

“Before starting language stimulation play, first understand the child’s current situation.”
→ Language stimulation play is a two-way play that parents and children must do together.
Therefore, before starting to play, it is more important than anything for parents to understand their child's current developmental status.
This is because you can practice language stimulation play tailored to your child.
This book divides the ages of children from 0 to 6 into 8 stages: 0 to 6 months, 7 to 12 months, 13 to 18 months, 19 to 24 months, 25 to 36 months, 37 to 48 months, 49 to 60 months, and after 60 months, and points out the core of how a child's development occurs at each stage.


* 260 language stimulation points that can be used with your child right now

“Maximizes the effectiveness of language stimulation play.”
→ Even while engaging in language stimulation play, parents often wonder when and how they should speak to their children to help them develop.
To address these concerns, the author has compiled 120 language stimulation points for each play, ranging from one to four, that parents can immediately use with their children and that will even double the effectiveness of the play.
In the 0-6 month 'mobile play', vocabulary related to movement in the mobile and onomatopoeia related to objects attached to the mobile are provided as language stimulation points, and in the 49-60 month 'interview play', words used in interviews and vocabulary related to interrogative words are provided as language stimulation points.


* Over 1,150 language-stimulating conversation examples you can give to your child right now.

“We encourage communication and interaction with children through language stimulation play.”
→ When engaging in language stimulation play, parents often hesitate about what to say to their children during each play session.
I understand the overall play method and process, but I am at a loss as to how to fill in the specific play situations.
To address these concerns, the author provides a detailed introduction to 120 different types of play and what parents should say to their children during each stage of the play.
In the 7-12 month old ‘peekaboo’ game, “Hide well.
“Where are they?”, “Daddy is here.”, etc., and in the ‘matching game’ for 37-48 months, “There are crayons here.
“Then what should we have together?”, “What do I need to do laundry?” are examples of conversations.

“It’s convenient to use toys or tools at home.”
→ The games included in 『120 5-Minute Language Stimulation Games a Day』 are very simple and convenient because they do not require any preparation or can be done using toys or tools found at home.
We've compiled a total of 120 activities, ranging from activities that can be enjoyed simply by parents and children, to activities that require materials that children already have or can easily obtain, such as toys, dolls, books, and blocks that they like.
So, you can do language stimulation games at home without any shortcomings, just like those done at professional institutions.


* Effective play for both early and late talkers

“A comprehensive selection of games from actual language education settings.”
→ Language stimulation play is not only effective for children who are late in speaking.
It is effective for children who are fast speakers, average speakers, and late speakers.
For children who are late in speaking, language stimulation play can be used as a therapeutic method. For children with average speech, it can be used as a way to promote growth through communication between parents and children. For children who are early in speaking, it can be used as a way to provide lots of fun and a sense of accomplishment through play.
Moreover, the 120 games included in this book were carefully selected by the author after meeting and practicing with various children in actual language education settings, making their effectiveness even more reliable.


* The ultimate parenting method that promotes language, sensory, motor, and emotional development.

“It goes beyond just ‘word play’ to stimulate children’s speech and promotes their growth and development.”
→ The author practiced language stimulation play in daily life for a child who had difficulty hearing and whose language development was significantly delayed.
At first, I just thought it would be nice if my child could start talking, but the more I did it, the more I saw my child develop not only in speaking but also in areas I hadn't expected, and I realized the specialness of language stimulation play.
The 'Blowing Wind on the Body' game awakened the senses of the entire body, the 'Up and Down Game' stimulated the motor nerves, and the 'Fishing Game' developed verbal concentration by following directions.
Furthermore, children who played various language-stimulating games with their parents developed emotional stability, and this stability of mind had a positive effect on the child's growth and development as well as learning ability.
In other words, language stimulation play is the ultimate parenting method that leads to a child's holistic development.


“A single, small word from a mother stimulates a child’s growth plate.”
A loving mother who speaks to her child, a smart child who grows up with her mother's words.

Any mother raising a child between the ages of 0 and 6 will agree that this is the period during which a child spends the most time with their mother in their entire life.
At this time, a small word or an ordinary action from a mother can affect a child's development.
This is because children learn countless things by seeing, hearing, and feeling them from their mother, the adult closest to them.
In this sense, language stimulation play is the easiest and simplest way a mother can help her child grow healthily and in a balanced way, both physically and mentally.


For parents who are wondering how to play with their children, how to talk to them, and even what to do first to help their children grow up healthy, this book is all you need.
By practicing the language stimulation activities contained in the book one by one, not only will your child's language, sensory, motor, and emotional development be improved at once, but you will also be able to have a time of communication and rapport that satisfies both parents and children.
