The Power of Language The Five Primary Impacts of Language Between Caregiver and Child
By Melissa Silva on November 21, 2019
Ever wonder if your child will remember any of the bonding time spent together. The moments where you read a book to them as they fall asleep in your arms. The moments you speak to them about their imaginary friend problems. Your child’s memory will recognize that a significant moment. A child who is exposed to language earlier establishes greater vocabulary growth. This type of information can be beneficial to parents and educators who work with young children. This information informs them that their work with the children will be highly impacted. The exposure of early childhood education impacts the child’s outlook on real life scenarios seem to be more significant than common teaching tools alone. These scenarios being related to the child’s interest is important to education.
1. Caregivers are able to let the child speak out their ideas, morals, and beliefs. 2. Fosters the child’s abilities and allows the teacher to support when needed. 3. Challenge the child’s knowledge by relating to the child’s knowledge level. 4. Allow growth in interpersonal and self-regulation abilities in everyday interactions. 5. Reciprocal relationship between caregiver and child impact’s language development.
THIS WEEK’S TAKE AWAY

❖ Things take time, do not rush the development of a child. ❖ Preschool classroom experiences will benefit the future education of a
child. ❖ Exposure to the sounds of language will benefit your child’s ability to
read. ❖ Language is based on the quality of experience not the amount in a given time.
❖ Language is a primary tool for communication through verbal, gestural, and written words
WHAT CAN YOU DO!
❖ Read to your child when possible. Every moment counts. ❖ Create a back and forth conversation with your child. Include who, what, when, where, why
and how questions. ❖ Challenge your child to read a book based on the images of their favorite book. Allowing
them to create their own understanding based on what they know. ❖ Allow them to find the answer to their questions on their own with guidance. Trial and error.
