Language Development Introduction

Language Development 1. Introduction.

There is something I ask my children everytime they enter the therapy room. I often ask, 'Why did we meet?' and 'What did you think when you came?'.

Reactions Vary. Starting with "I don't know" or "I'm here to play", "I'm trying to speak better" or "I'm trying to improve my pronunciation", etc. Sometimes, some children just come up to me without saying a word and sit on a chair without making eye contact, while others are immersed in playing alone. Some children cannot interact properly. 

Introduction is always in this context. But why do I ask this question? Most children who enter the therapy room have areas that need to be strengthened in their speech and language skills, and due to the child's natural characteristics of innocence and immaturity, most of them behave in ways that are far from the therapist's guidance. So, I often do this in the hope that children will 'observe' with a little bit of 'sense of purpose'.

In other words, there is a big difference between following a 'milestone' and fallowing the path as you see fit.

Although I cannot explain all the diverse and vast areas of children's language development in a short article. I hope that I will explain the main points of language development and serve as an opportunity to expand your understanding of development.
