Children aged 24-36 months. Word learning whizz-kids! Eardrops language series #7.
#7. Word-learning whizzkids - 24-36 months "Although they can ask for help when they need it, this is a notorious period for tantrums that occur out of sheer frustration (let’s take an understanding parent-to-parent collective sigh at this point. And breathe…)" #7 in our language series takes a look at what's going on for 2-3 year olds. Bravo to these little whizz-kids! Liz xx www.eardrops.co.nz
Language development in children aged 12-24 months. Lovely toddlers! Eardrops language series #6.
#ontheblog Toddler Language! At around twelve months baby will use a word that sounds like the ‘real’ word, (perhaps in amongst a long stream of scrumptious baby babbling), and you will know it definitely means something. Experts term these first deliberate words the beginning of ‘language’ (ta dah! Cue applause). Toddler parents, number 6 in our language series is for you! Liz xx www.eardrops.co.nz
The importance of gestures in baby's language development. Eardrops language series #5.
#5. The importance of gestures for language. Gestures are key indicators that reveal to speech language experts where a baby is at in their language development, because gestures and language stem from the same area of the brain - whereas motor movements (which are also important for language development) originate from a different area.
