Development of Language in kids

Every parent wants his/her child to develop skills in language and communicate with ease. However it is not really necessary to teach the child to speak a language during his infancy as he has the uncanny capacity to absorb languages. It is indeed a natural process that a child learns to speak the language that is primarily spoken around his close circle/his home.

There was a time when there were more people in the house and very less or no gadgets. The child in the house had lots of experiences with different sounds from different people around him. But these days, what he child misses is the direct connection with people which directly affects his development in the field of language.

Natural and effective development in language can happen in a child only with human connections and not with gadgets or technologies. 

Nowadays most parents neglects/miss  the joy of conversation with their kids. Chatting with kids and singing to them is actually a win-win strategy where the parent get immense relaxation/happiness and at the same time the child gets the needed attention/energy for him to utilize his potential towards his development. Reading is another important activity that a parent needs to do to the child where the child's thinking and imagining capacity is strengthened. This way, the child's receptive skills, thinking capacity, imagination enhances which eventually leads to linguistic development.

A child deprived of sufficient communication at home definitely needs additional help in the field of language. This situation in turn affects his overall imagination, thinking capacity and problem solving skills in the long run.

Ample conversation with the child and reading stories to the child are the two important help that should be given to the child to work on his development towards good communication and command over a language. Moreover the child gets confidence in learning a new language later on. It is the parent's / the adult's responsibility to set the right environment for the child to grow in all aspects towards conquering great heights in the field of language.
