Child Language Development
Language
is the result of imitation that becomes an amazing skill for children to
develop. The first child’s word might be the most wanted event that all parents
wait for. In fact, children have different skills development. Some children
are early talkers and some others are early workers. So how and when does
language development start? Here are just a few verbal skills that can be
mastered by children in 1 to 3 years old. Firstly,
at the age of 0 to 6 months, babies cry to show a feeling uncomfortable and
smile to show a feeling happy. A Baby will also start babbling and recognizing
a familiar voices and sounds. Secondly, babies start to laugh and begin to
communicate with gestures at 3-12 months old, waves “bye-bye” and understand
name of toys and other familiar objects. They babble expressively as a talking.
They begin to say words like "mama" and "dada" without
understanding what those words mean. Thirdly,
at 12 to 18 months, children
will master around 50 words and understand more than they can say. Nouns
usually come first, like, "ball." A child around this age should also
be able to understand and follow simple directions, such as; “Please get me a
ball. Fourthly, in 18
months to 2 years vocabulary
will grow to around 300 words and a child will start to put two words
together into short sentences. A child will also understand much of what is
said to them. Fifthly, a three_year_old child will begin to
identify colors, start to say past tense word, repeat words spoken by someone
else, and their vocabularies will continue to grow. Briefly, child language
development is a period where children start to follow and master some words
modeled by environment. It kind of skill will be annually developed as the
children’s age rise up so that parents are suggested to be extremely pay
intention of infants’ verbal skill development.
