Language is the method of communication to understand feelings and need.
The language contains letters, words, small sentences, Praises, and large complicated sentences.
The development of language is very essential for kids at an early stage.
stages of language development-
First 3 months- This is the time to cry. crying is the first communication mode of a child. This is the only way for Parents to understand about child's needs. Children produce different ways of crying to convey their message of hunger, wetness, discomfort, and anger.
3 to 6 months- This is the time to start babbling, now child start the practice of language, saying babababa, dadada. this is called babbling
6 - 12 months- In this phage children produce different voices to communicate. later on, they try to start communication by using one word like papa, mama, dada, etc. Here children will start understanding simple instruction.
12 - 18 months- In this time period children start saying the small sentence using two-three words. now they develop their vocabulary. They are able to recognize people, places, and objects around themselves.
