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.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
