LANGUAGE ACQUISITION FROM BIRTH TO EARLY CHILDHOOD

The Importance of Early Language Development Language development from birth is a critical aspect of a child's overall cognitive and social development. The early years are a crucial period for laying the foundation for language skills that will shape a child's ability to communicate and interact with the world around them. As parents and educators, understanding the importance of early language development is key to supporting children in reaching their full potential. Research has shown that children begin acquiring language skills from the moment they are born. Babies are constantly absorbing the sounds and rhythms of language that they hear in their environment, even before they are able to produce words themselves. This early exposure to language sets the stage for future language development and can have a lasting impact on a child's ability to communicate effectively. Early language development is not just about learning words and grammar.
