Understanding your child's cues
Ajani is 14 months now, he says a few words. Even though he doesn't articulate many words he is able to identify his needs by pointing; I'm in tune with his cues. For example he may want to drink from a cup I'm drinking from, he will indicate with sound or pointing to the cup and I then know he wants some of what I'm drinking. When he wants to listen to his children's music he will walk over to the stereo and point to it. Many people think a child is not comprehending what they are being taught simply because they can not speak; however they are. Remember their brain is still developing and that is why it's important to speak with them in your language, not baby babble/gibberish.
The most effective communication is wordless also known as non verbal communication; as adults we use it and once we pay attention to it we can learn a great deal.
