The Importance of Communicating with your Child

Do you ever sit back in amazement as you witness the remarkable language growth that occurs from birth through your child’s early years?

My experience has shown me that children learn to use language over time by watching, listening to, and conversing with other people. The purpose of communicating is very important.

For example, it is through communicating that children first learn to talk so they can establish relationships with their family and communicate their needs and desires to others.

Here are a few reasons why communicating with your child is important:

  • Your child can learn how to develop social skills
  • Your child can learn how to stay on topic
  • Your child can learn how to wait until the speaker is finished before responding

One thing you should keep in mind is the preschool stage and kindergarten years helps to develop your child’s language and literacy skills. Consequently, this would be an excellent time to begin holding regular conversations with your child.

Conversations with Children Web Site was Down!

If you are a returning visitor, you will notice a few posts are missing.

The hosting account had a hardware failure, which caused the entire site to disappear from May 24th until I realized it on May 25th.

Fortunately, there was a back up! Over the next couple of days new features will be added. The first of many is already shown to the right! You can expect to see a store link with many wonderful items available for you to browse.

Everything should be back to normal by June 1st! So, be patient with us!

Until next time!
