| | Language and Literacy Development |
 | | In other words, the bulk of the child's concentration and energy may be going to gross motor development at this point with little reserve for the development of language. | | | Always give full attention to your child when he or she is speaking, and acknowledge, praise, and encourage him or her after he or she has spoken. | | | For example, if the child is hearing two languages at home, his or her brain is trying to learn two sets of vocabulary, process two sets of speech sounds, and understand two sets of grammatical rules. |

| | Speech Development in the Infant and Toddler |
| | Because the development of speech varies, it is important not to compare your child’s language development to other children’s language development. | | | As children grow from infancy to toddlerhood, early childhood, and so on, parents are often keenly aware of what their child "should" be doing at any given age. | | | One of the milestones that frequently causes parents great anxiety is the development of speech. |

| | Phenomenology Online: The Child Prodigy |
| | All views of the child share the belief that he is a natural, or complete and without needs. | | | To treat the prodigy as a phenomenon is to define the child by his possession of some remarkable talent, power or ability; and given this perception of the child, his responsibility is to always be "on." The child must be continually oriented to maintaining the appearance of himself as one with a remarkable talent. | | | The princess is insensitive to the child as one with needs, and as a spokesman for the collective mind she suggests that the child prodigy is enjoyed for the freedom which he provides to the audience. |

| | To support development, adults in the child's environment need to: In addition to the methods listed in the "Toddler" section, adults need to provide opportunities for children to talk, listen carefully to the child, and offer expansions of their sentences to enhance meaning. | | | Adults do serve as language models, but it is the child's own desire to construct meaning and to communicate, along with their neurological readiness, which creates this growth spurt. | | | Keep in mind that all children develop language at their own pace, so these should be used as general guidelines. |

| | My reading list on language development of children gathers resources for parents that inform them of what they can do at home to help their children, and how to seek professional help for language delays when necessary. | | | But before my older son was born I was concerned about the issue of child speech development as a talkative first-time parent, and have gathered this information both for parents of "normal" children and for parents concerned about speech delays in their children. | | | Scientists who have spent their professional careers studying children all agree that steady language development is essential for well-rounded social development. |

| | The Prodigy as Narcissistic Injury |
| | This love-hate relationship with their idols, this ambivalence, is attributed by psychodynamic theories of personal development to the child's emotions towards his parents. | | | The child becomes the vessel of his parents' discontented lives, a tool, the magic brush with which they can transform their failures into successes, their humiliation into victory, their frustrations into happiness. | | | By "abuse" I am referring to a spectrum of behaviours which objectify the child and treat it as an extension of the caregiver (parent) or as a mere instrument of gratification. |

| | Age Is Important In Language Development In Cochlear Implant Users |
| | "The rate of language development in the profoundly deaf children after implantation was quite close to that of children with normal hearing, and it exceeded the development rate expected from unimplanted profoundly deaf children," Dr. Svirsky said. | | | All the children showed a gap between their language age (skill level) and their chronological age, but the gap was greater for older children. | | | Language perception and verbal skills in children with cochlear implants involved in this study showed marked increases in their abilities, and the gap between hearing children and children with implants continued to narrow as time passed after implantation. |
