CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -“Parentese” is a particular way of talking to your children, which involves slowing down your speech, speaking in a higher pitch and giving pauses for them to respond. Babies of parents who were coached in parentese started talking sooner and had a wider vocabulary than others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Used in virtually all of the world’s languages, parentese is a speaking style that draws baby’s attention. Parents adopt its simple grammar and words, plus its exaggerated sounds, almost without thinking about it. But if parents knew the way they speak could help baby learn, would they alter their speech?

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of this is saying “Dolly want milk?” when playing with your child and their doll. Instead, produce the grammatically accurate sentence: “Does the dolly want milk?” Although it seems more complex, this will make it easier for children to pick up on the patterns of language use.

Detailed explanation-4: -The best way to encourage your child’s language development is to do a lot of talking together about things that interest your child. It’s all about following your child’s lead as they show you what they’re interested in by waving, babbling or using words. From birth, talk with your child and treat them as a talker.

Detailed explanation-5: -Imitating children’s sounds, words, and actions shows them that they’re being heard and that you approve of what they’re doing or saying. It also promotes turn taking and, best of all, encourages them to imitate you and your more complex language utterances.
