Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By talking with them, adults provide children with language “input” that children can then use as models for how to talk. The more types of language input that children receive, the more their language skills can develop and grow over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adults should model, stimulate and extend children’s speech, language and communication by asking open-ended questions. Open questions encourage longer answers and can help children think, e.g. “Where do you want to play?”.
