Language Development- The first 2000 days

September 5th,
We were in the care and Ajani said to his aunt "he said  stop" he was referring to has mom. That is his first sentence  he will be two years old the end of this month. He has been hearing language since he came home from the hospital. A few months ago I visited a friend and I was speaking with Ajani and my friend said to me "you are talking to him like he is five years old". Many adults do not understand that the first three years of life  is critical for brain development. This is the time when you have to put the roots down for life skills  , self-esteem, social emotional skills, cognitive development and a number of other skills.
Babies are born wired to learn but you must provide the  experiences in order for their brain to develop.
