Why do some children begin speaking in full sentences while others struggle with single words?
Language is the foundation of connection, learning, and lifelong success. Yet not all children develop language at the same pace, and the reasons why may surprise you. Children's Language Development reveals how the earliest interactions between caregiver and child play a vital role in shaping future communication, comprehension, and expression.
This book provides a research-driven roadmap to unlocking your child's full linguistic potential.
From the quality and quantity of parental input to the structure of early vocabulary and the significance of nonverbal communication, this book brings together decades of developmental psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to answer one critical question: How can we best support a child's language journey from the very beginning?
Inside, you'll learn:
The way you talk to your child directly influences vocabulary growth and language processing
The difference between expressive and receptive language—and why it matters
Why vocabulary composition (not just quantity) is a key predictor of later success
The crucial role of gestures, joint attention, and turn-taking in early communication
What current research says about screen time, multilingual environments, and the impact of socio-economic context
Give your child the strongest possible start in life through the power of intentional communication.
