The early years of a child can and should never
be underestimated. Communication is a crucial
aspect of a childs emotional, physical and
cognitive development, the years 0 to 6 is when
children go through different levels of
development. His/her speaking and understanding
well will directly impact his/her learning and
reading.

More and more cases of delayed speech are being
increasingly observed, which is a matter of
concern. This delay in language development may
as well lead to various other behavioral
challenges, such as low self-esteem and
frustration not being able to express
him/herself. This can be attributed to a variety
of reasons, from our busy lifestyle to changing
dynamics of a family (from joint families to a
nuclear setup) to sadly the fact that now
conversation has been replaced with gadgets.
Also, parents tend to lay more emphasis on
feeding and napping time of a child, instead of
taking the time out to talk to the child.

Nothing better than reading to encourage language
development in children. Its time you brought
back storytimes with parents and grandparents. So
make it a habit to read to your child every day
and have conversations around the story. Also,
point at images in the book and ask him to
identify them. Encourage your child to repeat
words- all these will help improve your childs
vocabulary and theyll also learn to give
accurate responses to the questions asked.

Last, but not the least, be a good model. Even
though your child may not be able to immediately
respond to you, he will be listening keenly so
speak clearly and slowly and face your child when
speaking. Encourage the child to express
themselves. For example, if your child says a
word or sentence incorrectly, just say the word /
sentence back to them correctly to show you have
understood instead of correcting them or asking
them to repeat it, which can help him express
himself better and improve his articulation. This
is how children learn language.
