Answer 1

• Infants communicate because humans are social beings, dependent on one another for survival and joy.Social-pragmatic: the crucial starting point is the social reason/need to communicate; after all, newborns are the center of social interaction.
• Birth to 2 Years:- It’s all about repeatable vowel sounds like “ma,” “ba,” and “da.” Specifically “da.” Make eye contact, imitate their sounds and expressions, encourage them to imitate yours, read, count, and expand on individual words they’ve figured out how to use. Basically, always be talking.
• Watch- The baby may reach both arms up to say she wants to be picked up, hand parent a toy to say she wants to play, or push food off her plate to say she's had enough. Smile, make eye contact, and respond to encourage these early, nonverbal attempts at baby talk.
• Listen-Pay attention to the baby's cooing and babbling, and coo and babble those same sounds right back to your baby. Babies try to imitate sounds their parents are making and to vary pitch and tone to match the language heard around them. So parents need to patient and give their baby lots of time to "talk" to them.
• Praise-Smile and applaud even the smallest or most confusing attempts at baby talk. Babies learn the power of speech by the reactions of adults around them.
• Imitate- Babies love to hear their parents' voices. And when parents talk to them it helps speech develop. The more parents talk their "baby talk" with them, using short, simple but correct words, such as "dog" when the baby says "daw," the more babies will keep trying to talk.
• 2 to 4 Years:- Use clear, simple speech, repeat what they say to show you understand, expand vocabulary, sing songs, play question-answer games, and use photos to reinforce familiar people and places.
  
• 4 to 6 Years:-Give the kid’s rambling, half-coherent stories your full attention, make sure they do the same for you, give directions, form categories, discuss daily activities, and have conversations about your old pal, television.
• Encourage children to play, pretend, and imagine out loud to develop verbal skills as they become toddlers. Lifelong readers come from young children who have plenty of fun, relaxing experiences of being read to out loud.
