Language development
Language development is very important because it is one of the ways that we communicate our thoughts,feelings and how we learn socialize with our peers. Language has several skills that the infants and toddlers need to learn : Receptive vocabulary ,the ability to name things,for example if you show the child a picture of a fish they should be able to name it ;expressive language is also critical ,the child's ability to express themselves, the ability to speak in sentences,comprehension is also very important ,listening skills are also very important . There are many parts to language development but these skills that I mention forms the foundation of language .
When children are found to have a language delay it is not just not knowing words ,the inability to comprehension ,lacking listening skills,following directions ,not being able to express themselves these are just a few examples of what is considered language delay.
Here is a resource that you can use.Please share this information with your friends.

Language development
Language development is one of the most important skills your infant/toddler needs to learn . Understanding how language works is critical because when a child understands how language work they will be able to have receptive and expressive language. Your toddler will need to have several experiences with words for them to learn the meaning or the action that goes with the word. When the feel comfortable they will experiment with it .
Here is a good example : Ajani likes to do several things at the same time and we usually say wow you are multitasking . We have been saying this for a number of months. On Tuesdays March 22 around 5pm his mother was in the kitchen he was on his scooter and kept calling "look ma Im on my scooter" , His mother tending to the pot said"Ajani I cant look because I am cooking".Ajani responded " ma multitask,look and cook ,ma look and cook". We began to laugh .
At that point he has clearly demonstrated that he understand the meaning of multitasking.
That meaning is imprinted in his brain and when he is introduced to the written form he will be able to use his meta-cognition to recognize it.
