This book explores how children learn to communicate using language, how they use language to learn and the role of adults in the process. From the moment they are born, children use a powerful inner force for communicating and a drive to make sense of their environment and the people in it. If adults show the child love, affection and involve him in the right type of early interaction, spoken language emerges that the child can use to communicate ideas. With continued adult support, most children by the age of three-and-a-half have an almost complete set of communication, language and speech skills. This book focuses on how children learn language within the context of social relationships: initially with their parents and other family members, then later with professional adults who assist in their language development and learning within early years settings, and with other children." - Provided by the publisher
