WORDS,WORDS AND MORE WORDS!
What is the most powerful tool your child needs for their successful development?
It is is language, of course.It is words that let us think,create ideas and reason.A rich vocabulary leads to high levels of reasoning and creativity, and skill in communication.
A child may not be able to start picking up language skills too early.It may be acquired largely through meaningful interaction between the child and adults .Keep talking to them , and take time to tell them stories and recite rhymes.Tell her what is going on when something is happening. We should talk to the child about the things in the surroundings -- whether it's a dog,or a flower,or a butterfly.The more you share ideas together ,the more your child will learn.
Reading out stories is another fruitful way to develop language skills.Another tip is to talk about what you are doing. "I am going to make breakfast now.What shall we have today?" "Come on,watch me scrape carrots for dinner!" Such conversations can be very effective because the child can actually associate words with seeing their meanings in action.
Don't make a fuss if your child makes mistakes while they talk. It is not a sin ,after all,if your child says, "I goed to temple yesterday." You could correct them indirectly by saying,"Oh you went to the temple? Very good!"
Nursery rhymes,action songs,word games etc are all effective tools to develop a child's language skills. Let your child speak, speak.......
