Following directions is very important because you are helping your infant/toddler to understand language. That is why you need to speak with your infant/toddler in complete sentences. I said speak with your infant as opposed to "to your infant" there is a big difference. Speech is also developing but at 13 months your baby begins to speak . You must help to develop the areas of the brain that is responsible for speech . That is why it is important for you to red different books to your infant/toddler . You should also make books available for your infants/toddlers this allows her the ability to choose her own book to read when she wants to.
Wernicke's area –
area located in the temporal lobe that plays a critical role in the ability to understand meaningful speech.
Broca's area –structure located in the frontal lobe of the brain that controls the production of spoken and written language.
Young children must understand language before the will move on to reading on their own.
