This document discusses typical child development and provides resources for parents concerned about their child's speech or language skills. The main points are:
1. Children develop communication skills at different rates, though development should follow a linear pattern. Deviations from this may require assessment.
2. Parents should discuss any concerns about their child's speech or language development with their pediatrician, who can refer them to specialists if needed.
3. Specialists that can assess and treat communication disorders include speech-language pathologists and audiologists.

Week 1
Hi my name is Gloria, I am sixty three years old, and I plan to graduate in October of 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Organization Manager. I have taken my entire course for my degree I am working on my elective course so I decided to take a minor in child hood development. I thought that it would be a good course since I have work with children all my life, raising ten children and only three from nature birth. I now work with Garland independent school district and come in contact with children every day. I community with people through knowledge, everyone come to me for advice, I listen to everyone problem and try to give the best advice possible and if I don’t have the answer we try to investigate and come up with the right one. I love helping people in any way that I could, planning on retiring from my job that I have been on for seventeen years with the school. After I retire if I have to go back to work I am leaning toward benign school counselor or an adviser working with children. That is if God allow me to do it.
Week 1 pt. 2
In the early childhood classroom, silence is not golden. Spoken words are opportunities for learning that should take place throughout the day - especially during conversations between children and between teachers and children.
Human language is a remarkable way to communicate. No other form of communication in the natural world transfers so much information in such a short period of time. It is even more remarkable that in three short years a child can hear, mimic, explore, practice, and finally, learn language.
Language learningthere is no genetic code that leads a child to speak English or Spanish or Japanese. Language is learned. We are born with the capacity to make 40 sounds and our genetics allows our brain to make associations between sounds and objects, actions, or ideas. The combination of these capabilities allows the creation of language. Sounds come to have meaning. The babbling sound "ma - ma - ma" of the infant becomes mama, and then mother. In the first years of life children listen, practice, and learn. The amusing sounds of a young toddler practicing language (in seemingly meaningless chatter) are really their modeling of the rhythm, tone, volume, and non-verbal expressions they see in us.
Language -with all of its magnificent complexity- is one of the greatest gifts we give our children. Yet, we so often treat our verbal communication with children in a casual way. It is a misconception that children learn language passively. Language acquisition is a product of active, repetitive, and complex learning. The child's brain is learning and changing more during language acquisition in the first six years of life than during any other cognitive ability he is working to acquire. How much easier this learning process can be for children when adults are active participants!
Adult’s help children learn language primarily by talking with them. It happen when a mother coos and ba.

1. Children are individuals and all follow their own time frame
for development.
Acquisition of speech and language skills are not immune to this
variance; even amongst typically developing children there is some
flexibility in the time it takes them to master the complex skill of
communication. While every child’s development is unique, it
should follow a linear pattern in a relatively timely fashion.
Deviations from this linear pattern, or significant delay in skill
development may require further assessment or intervention from
skilled communication specialist.
Your child’s pediatrician is a great starting place. Communicate
any concerns with the pediatrician; they are knowledgeable and
able to refer you to individuals who specialize in speech, language
and hearing.
Specialists include:
Speech-Language Pathologist- evaluates and treats
communication disorders
Audiologist- evaluates and provides interventions for hearing
impairments

Power.

Model Appropriate Play: play skills are the foundation for communication skills. Modeling
turn taking (e.g. passing a ball), appropriate use of toys (e.g. using cooking toys to cook), and
imaginative play all help develop language and social skills.
Model Cause and Effect: demonstrating cause and effect in play and daily activities can help
illustrate how communication impacts the environment. Don’t assume your child’s needs,
patiently encourage them to request and communicate their wants/needs. A great cause and
effect activity can be as simple as blowing bubbles!
Model Speech and Language: children are likely to imitate your example. Narrate daily
activities in simple phrases, sing simple songs and encourage your child to participate! Also
model speech sounds, starting with simple letter sounds in isolation. When your child has
mastered some sounds in isolation, build upon their skill and encourage consonant-vowel
clusters (e.g. ma ma), and eventually words!

Active Reading
While looking at picture books try to avoid passively reading the words. Instead try labeling
colors, count items, compare and contrast, name letters anything you can think of! Encourage
your child to participate along with you!
