prenatal development
While pregnant talking, singing can help your baby not only get to know you but also help some of their language development -
Birth to age 2
From birth until the age of 2 using infant-directed speech which is high pitched and exaggerated short sentences and having a live interaction with a responsive adult can lead to a great language development. Also, taking them to some social groups will allow them to interact with other children so their speech can grow bigger -
Preschool
Once your child is old enough to start school, their minds will open up to a whole different world and once they step foot into a classroom their teacher will guide them on learning new things using homework, reading, doing small groups, computer games, disscussions, and guiding you on how you can help your child at home -
Ages 6-9
By this point your child will already have more language developed but they are still growing, you will start to notice you child saying words “correctly” instead of saying pisgetti they will say spaghetti. Their pronunciation will start making some changes and by the age of 8 is when all speech sounds should fully work. -
Ages 9-12
Your child’s speech will now be legible. At school they will begin to write sentences to paragraphs to essays to presentations and maybe stories. At first when their language isn’t fully developed it will be hard to understand what they are writing but around the age of 11, your child should write correctly. They will also begin to read fully well. -
High School and Beyond
Your child will have many friends and yes teenagers will develop slang and certain abbreviations for words or sentences, but this only lasts a certain amount of time. Your teen will never forget their language development and they still have a lot more to learn language wise.
