Early Language Development

Early language development refers to the process by which infants and toddlers learn to understand and use language. This begins with recognizing sounds and patterns in speech, followed by babbling and eventually forming words. Children learn language through social interactions, exposure to conversations, and their environment. Key factors include playing with others, reading books, and having conversations, which help build vocabulary and comprehension. Effective early language development supports cognitive growth, social skills, and emotional expression, laying a foundation for effective communication throughout life.
