Differences Between 3-2 Years Speech Language And Communication

They enjoy playing and show it by smiling and squealing with delight. They are able to focus on an object and explore it if it seems interesting. Babies also start to show us that they understand a little of what we are saying and try to communicate with us.

By two years their speech will begin to develop as they start to respond and understand more words when they

At this point we can begin to understand the limitations of body language, facial expression and gesture when language is not available. Although they allow for instant communication they cannot help a child to understand what is being seen or provide a way in which afterwards the child can communicate what she has seen. This means that children who only have the basic communication skills of body language, gesture and facial

24-30 months | Enjoys playing with puzzles and building blocks. Increased independence. Increased sense of individuality. | Vocabulary of 200+ words. May initiate games by talking and pointing.

* Have different cries for different needs. For example one cry for hunger, another when they are tired.

Intellectual Development (0-3 Years) Beginning to realise others are separate beings from themselves, imitates others and tries out ways of behaving in play, becoming more confident but still needs adult reassurance

7-14 years --- By this stage, most children are fluent speakers of language and are developing and refining their skills at reading and writing. Their language skills enable them to think about and discuss their ideas and learning in more abstract terms.

At this age they start to grow rapidly, they learn to crawl and walk, and they start learning a few words and noises. They can start eating on their own with a knife and fork, learn to do new things such as kicking and throwing a ball, start scribbling using a pen, climb up and down the stairs and can sort shapes in a shape sorter. They can turn pages and knobs of doors and are able to pedal a tricycle. Some skills using

At around 1 year, they may be starting to utter their first words ‘mama’ or ‘dada’. They will learn to put words together by the time they are 2 years of age and they may know up to 200 words. Between 2 and 3 they will start using plurals and negative. Their grammar may not always be correct. They could say ‘I throwed it’ and you could reply with ‘you threw it did you?’ This is a way of correcting what they are saying, without actually telling them that they are wrong and should say it this way.

It is believed that babies develop language when they are in the utero and it continues throughout their lifetime. By twelve weeks old, babies may register the sounds they can hear and at the same time make basic visual, auditory and tactile mind maps (Karen Kearns, 2013, P.105). This allows the infant to turn towards any familiar sounds and noises. Babies begin to communicate with people around them quite quickly. By two months old, babies begin to make ‘cooing’ and other noises; this indicates the phonological component of language development. By six to nine months babies begin to experience with a mixture of sounds, and often you will hear a baby babbling. Babbling development is similar across many different languages and even hearing impaired babies will go through this stage. They may copy the sounds they are introduced too or beginning to recognize familiar

At the age of 6-11 months babies begin to babble such things such as mama. Babies at this age often try to communicate by actions or gestures and tries to repeat simple sounds that are used a lot around them.

| By this age the child likes to begin to explore and they are able to respond to the simple directions that they are given, can group objects by category, are able to stack rings on pegs in the order of the size (big to small), able to recognize themselves when looking in the mirror and finally they still like imitating more complex adult actions for example housekeeping play.

Communication development 0-3 years listening to parents and practitioner and starting to recognise their name by 1 and half they should be able to say mama dada ect and start to join in with rhymes such as twinkle twinkle little star. At the age of 3 they should be able to say at least 200 words. If the child has a speech problem then we use 100 words pictures and sign language to see what they know.

Next, his language is still developing at this point. I showed him a stuffed animal dog and asked him if he could identify it and tell me what it is. The infant gazed at it and responded “woof,woof,woof!” He responded by what the dog sounds like. Secondly, I asked him to point out his body parts. For example, his ears, eyes and belly button. That moment I said belly button he pointed at it. He was able to repeat names and his toys that he owned. As I began to speak in long-complex sentences he stared at me for a second and then looked away and started doing something else.

| Further development of identity.Imaginative play with peers.Developing friendships themselves and preference of friends.Understanding of boundaries and why they are necessary.Responding to responsibility of tasks.
