And if you were training to be a linguist or even a teacher, it would be! Language development, also known as language acquisition, is really just a normal part of growing up.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s an intriguing process. Despite all of our research and careful observation, we still don\u2019t know quite how it happens. Experts have their theories, though.<\/p>\n<p>As you might guess, language development is the process by which young children learn to use language to communicate with others. Acquiring the skills necessary for effective communication is crucial to nearly all aspects of a child\u2019s overall growth and well-being. Children learn to use language in different stages\u2014it\u2019s a complex process and it doesn\u2019t all happen at once!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Why\">Why Is Language Development Important?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_40010\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40010\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-40010\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-speak-9.jpg\" alt=\"critical period for language development\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40010\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">babbling stage\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Language development in children is indeed a natural process. Still, it\u2019s something that parents and caregivers need to carefully monitor. That\u2019s because language is such an important skill to have. Imagine what life would be like if you weren\u2019t able to properly communicate your thoughts, desires, and needs to the people around you!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Language skills can have a huge impact on a person&#8217;s chances of success, happiness, and a fulfilling life. Being able to communicate can help them with social interaction, for example, as well as helping them learn more efficiently and fully from parents and teachers. Strong language skills, like continuous speech and understanding of universal grammar, are also linked with healthy cognitive development, and children who understand various aspects of languages well can find it easier to not only understand native languages but learn others, too. Plus, they&#8217;re less likely to struggle with language disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"6\">6 Stages of Oral Language Development<\/h2>\n<p>In order to keep an eye on your child\u2019s language acquisition, you\u2019ll need to look for certain milestones. That\u2019s where the various stages or levels of language development come in. It\u2019s important for parents and caregivers to understand these developmental milestones related to language.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at each of them in detail.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Prelinguistic\">Prelinguistic Stage (Birth to 6 Months)<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_39816\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39816\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-39816\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/08\/baby-11-months-1.jpg\" alt=\"language development\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39816\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marija Nedovic\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The first stage of language development in little ones is referred to as the prelinguistic stage. As the name suggests, this is the phase of development when an infant has yet to acquire language. During this time, babies rely on sounds instead of words to communicate.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wondered why babies cry so much, this is the answer! Though they\u2019ve yet to acquire formal language, even babies understand that sound is an important part of communicating. In a way, crying is baby\u2019s first language.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Babbling\">Babbling Stage (6 to 9 Months)<\/h3>\n<p>At around six months, the sounds your baby is making will begin to mimic certain language patterns. We refer to this as the babbling stage.<\/p>\n<p>During this phase, children begin to acquire some linguistic skills, and their mouths are growing to accommodate even more language abilities. Babies are beginning to understand that there\u2019s more to communication than just crying!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Holophrastic\">Holophrastic Stage (9 to 18 Months)<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_39956\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39956\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-39956\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-2-years-4.jpg\" alt=\"language development milestones\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oksana Kuzmina\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Around the age of 9 to 18 months, <strong>children have usually uttered their very first word.<\/strong> This is perhaps the most exciting stage of language development for parents! Throughout this stage, youngsters will begin using single words to communicate needs and wants.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Two\">Two-Word Stage (18 to 24 Months)<\/h3>\n<p>After kids get the hang of using single words, they soon progress to the two-word stage of language development. Often, children will begin <strong>combining some of the words<\/strong> they learned in the previous stage to communicate more effectively. This is a sign that their cognitive and verbal skills are growing!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Telegraphic\">Telegraphic Stage (24 to 30 Months)<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_40002\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40002\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-40002\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-speak-2.jpg\" alt=\"language acquisition\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40002\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katerina Morozova\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During the telegraphic stage of language development, children move from using single words and phrases to communicating in sentences. Grammar will still be lacking in this phase, but <strong>little ones have learned to express an entire idea verbally<\/strong> and get their point across quite well! A typical sentence may sound something like, \u201cMama no go.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Multi\">Multi-Word Stage (30+ Months)<\/h3>\n<p>The final stage of language development in toddlers is called the multi-word stage. During this period, early learners will begin adding more and more words to their vocabulary. At this stage, your child\u2019s brain is like a sponge, so he or she will be absorbing words at lightning speed!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The multi-word stage of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">child <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">development paves the way to higher order language development.

Still, there are some things you can do to help move things along in the right direction. And it doesn\u2019t have to be an elaborate game or structured activity. There are simple techniques you can integrate into your daily routine that are just as effective.<\/p>\n<h3>Talk to Your Baby<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may sound silly, but it\u2019s critical to engage your little one in conversation long before he or she is able to reply <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as a form of social learning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even before children can speak a word, they\u2019re learning the nuances of conversation. This includes not only how to talk, but the rhythm of language as well as important social skills like eye contact and body language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though they\u2019re not engaging in continuous speech or figuring out the rules of universal grammar, young children are still undergoing rapid cognitive development and can learn a lot from their parents&#8217; faces and vocal sounds. Just remember to use child-directed speech, with simple words, receptive language, and nothing too complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Read, Read, and Then Read Some More<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_40004\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40004\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-40004\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-read-book.jpg\" alt=\"language development stages\" width=\"750\" height=\"502\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prostock-studio\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hear it all the time\u2014the most important thing you can do to encourage literacy and language skills in children <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and raise a top-of-the-class infant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to read to them often. It\u2019s become quite the clich\u00e9, but that\u2019s because it\u2019s true. There is no replacement for frequent reading, so make it a part of your child\u2019s daily routine, no matter their age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, children love books. You can even let them choose their own titles to explore. At this stage, there are few rules when it comes to selecting books. Even picture books will do the trick as long as you\u2019re talking with your child about the images on the page.<\/p>\n<h3>Language Activities for Preschoolers<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t wait for your child to enter school to expose them to language-related activities. We often associate word games with preschool, but parents and caregivers can begin introducing these activities early on for the best results.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no shortage of language <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and child-directed speech<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> activities that parents and their preschoolers can engage in. After all, language is a part of nearly everything we do. Still, we\u2019ll suggest some particularly fun and effective activities below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Storytelling\u2014You don\u2019t need a book to tell a great story. As your child grows, ask them to contribute to the plot!<\/li>\n<li>Coloring and Drawing\u2014Kids love to get creative with crafts. To add a language component to the activity, talk to your little one about the illustrations on the page. Give characters names and personality traits to extend the fun and learning!<\/li>\n<li>Music and Dance\u2014Choose some age-appropriate songs to have your child sing and dance along to. Movement and learning go hand in hand!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_40008\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40008\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-40008\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-speak-5.jpg\" alt=\"childhood language development\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-40008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">fizkes\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s also normal to have questions about your child\u2019s language acquisition and development. Even if this isn\u2019t your first child, you may still find yourself with concerns since every kid is different when it comes to learning speech. Take a moment to review the frequently-asked questions below to learn more about critical issues in language development amongst children.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"What2\">What should I do if my child is lagging behind with language development?<\/h3>\n<p>First, don\u2019t panic. Kids are individuals. They tend to acquire language at their own pace, despite our guidelines and expectations. If you\u2019re concerned about developmental phases, it\u2019s best to speak to your pediatrician. In the meantime, keep engaging your little one in conversation and language-related activities like reading!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Is\">Is it up to me to teach my youngster to speak?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Contrary to popular belief, children don\u2019t need to be taught language. Instead, language acquisition is a natural process. Still, there are some things you can do to support your little one\u2019s language development. These include reading, playing games, and engaging your child in conversation regularly.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Do\">Do girls develop language before boys?<\/h3>\n<p>On average, yes. Girls do tend to hit developmental milestones related to language before boys. This accelerated pace has been linked to certain neurological differences.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Can\">Can children learn two languages at once?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. according to the <a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linguisticsociety.org\/\"\" rel=\"nofollow\">Linguistic Society of America<\/a>, young children can learn two languages simultaneously (e.g., English and Spanish) just as easily as they can learn one.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Should\">Should I use \u201cbaby talk\u201d when I speak to my child?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Some people think children acquire language faster if they\u2019re spoken to like they\u2019re adults. This is a misconception, though. Baby talk uses more simplistic patterns and tends to be slower than regular speech. These characteristics make it easier for children to learn.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the 5 components of language development?<\/h3>\n<p>The five key components of language skills are phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Phonology<\/strong> is about understanding the structure of speech and basic rules of pronunciation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Morphology<\/strong> is about understanding small words and building blocks of human language. It&#8217;s one of the most important language developmental stages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Syntax<\/strong> is about being able to combine words to form a simple sentence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semantics<\/strong> is about understanding language environments context, idioms, and more expressive language.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, <strong>pragmatics<\/strong> is about using different language varieties and grammatical structures in different settings or social contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>What are examples of language development?<\/h3>\n<p>Examples of language development in infants may include non-verbal communication, as well as babbling, which is one of the earliest forms of speech development (often around four to six months of age). As the child grows and language learning improves, they can achieve new developmental stages, like saying simple speech sounds, forming basic phrases, and eventually building to complex sentences and grammatical structures.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the main stages of language development?<\/h3>\n<p>There are six general stages of language development: prelinguistic (using sounds to communicate), babbling (between six and nine months of age, on average, in which babies begin to form their own unique word-like sounds), holophrastic (learning their first words), two-word (combining words), telegraphic (conveying ideas or making basic sentences), and multi-word (using multiple words to form more complex sentences).<\/p>\n<h2>Learning Language Is a Life-Long Endeavor<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_39950\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39950\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-39950\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2022\/09\/baby-2-years.jpg\" alt=\"oral language development\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrii Oleksiienko\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While acquiring language is a natural process, it\u2019s also one that lasts a lifetime. We never stop learning about our language. As soon as we think we\u2019ve mastered it, it evolves. And this happens over and over again throughout our lifetime!<\/p>\n<p>As you help your little one learn the verbal skills he or she needs to navigate childhood, it\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re witnessing the very early stages of language development. You should expect plenty of mistakes and some setbacks as well. Be sensitive to the fact that this is all a normal part of the process!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The picture on the front page: Antonio Guillem\/Shutterstock.com<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpulike wpulike-default \" ><div class=\"wp_ulike_general_class wp_ulike_is_not_liked\"><button type=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"Like Button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-id=\"39994\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-nonce=\"6a02a1784d\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-type=\"likeThis\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-template=\"wpulike-default\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-display-likers=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-disable-pophover=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp_ulike_btn wp_ulike_put_image wp_likethis_39994\"><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have questions about your child\u2019s verbal skills or language development?
