Explain the ways in which adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during the early years

Babies from birth use communication in body language or sounds with us and from this we must acknowledge them and look to support them to the next level of development.
There are many ways in which we can support and extend speech, language and communication development in the early years.

WORDS AND LEVELS OF LANGUAGE:

When we first are introduced to a child, we have to assess them to understand which level of language we are going to use with them, we would not say to a 6 month old baby, 'Hello, how are you, what have you been doing today, what would you like for dinner etc'. We must use lots of facial expressions and soften our tone of voice and use shorter sentences, we tend to speak slower as well so we say 'Hellloooo' with a big smile on our face when speaking to a baby. If we are showing a baby something when we are speaking to them we should point also to help them understand what we are saying to them.

RHETORICAL QUESTIONS:

Rhetorical questions are not real questions as the person asking the question as such, also answer it, so we might say to a baby 'would you like your nap now, oh yes you would, you look very tired' or 'you would like your bottle of milk now, wouldn't you'. It allows us to speak and communicate with a baby or toddler who will not answer our questions but it is a way of us using speech, language and communication on a daily basis, helping to be part of the day and feel involved. Using eye contact and smiling the response it usually positive and received back with a smile or babble.
CLOSED QUESTIONS:

Closed questions should not be used all the time, only when a yes or no answer is needed, we must ensure we still use all others areas through out the day, we can use a closed questions like 'have you finished your lunch' 'do you need help with

    Good communication in early childhood is essential because without communication the child wanders hopelessly around looking for some explanation as to why things work the way they do. When born, children know who to look for, listen to and bond with. Even before birth their brains are already somewhat “prewired for survival” (Gerrig & Zimbardo 2008) Doctors and scientists have researched that in the womb babies favour the sound of their mother’s voices rather than voices of their fathers or a stranger. This is backed up by experiments showing that the fetal heart rate increases when the mothers voice is heard and decreases when a strangers voice is heard or even their fathers. This experimental research proves that the thoughts had about communication starting later on in babies mental development or even toddlers is a myth on all accounts. Children are “designed to communicate from birth” (Stamm & Spencer 2007) How this ability is cultivated depends on the environment in which the child is surrounded in.…

    1.1- Speech is vocalised language. It is usually learnt before the written language. In speech the symbols are not written or signed but are actual spoken language as sounds. Usually from the age of 6 weeks babies will make cooing sounds to show pleasure. They make these sounds as the mouth has not yet fully developed properly. From 6-9 months the baby will babble as if they are practising sounds. By 9-12 months the range of sounds that babies produce becomes more limited and reflects the sound used in the language they are hearing, at around 12 months babies repeatedly use one or more sounds which have a meaning for them. The number of sounds that children will need to learn depends on the language they are hearing. English has over 40 different sounds.…

    Communication and being able to communicate is the foundation for many other areas of children`s development. Children need to be able to use and understand speech and language in order to learn. For example, being able to ask, `What`s that?` or, `How do I do this?` and being able to understand the reply is an important part of children`s learning. Speech, language and communication also support children`s emotional and social development. For example, being able to express feelings such as, `I`m scared` or, `I don’t like that`. Being able to use positive…

    If a parent or carer says that their child cannot eat a particular food it is important that the practitioners take note of this and make sure they respect the parent or carer’s instructions. Quite often there will be a noticeboard with the details of what children can and can’t eat, and it is usually kept in the kitchen. There could be numerous reasons as to why the child is not allowed to eat a particular food, so any wishes should be followed regardless of the reason.…

    Beginning with cognitive skill, babies have an innate ability to not only make facial expressions of their desires but also their needs of sustenance. But how is this possible? Using the study of Infant Intersubjectivity, researchers have discovered that “the infants need for communication animates the initial ‘self-other’ awareness and reception of motives and emotions in the intersubjective messages that underlie all languages.” “Human sense” as (Donaldson 1978) called it (Infant Intersubjectivity: Research, Theory, and Clinical Applications. Colwyn Trevarthen and Kenneth J. Aitken. Article first published online: 7 OCT 2003). Just by watching infants and newborns one can easily see the way these miniature people communicate. By observing the different tones in a cry, the facial expressions changes and or the rhythmic movements used to ask for or repel contact; these are all profound forms of infant communication. When I personally think of this form of communication the term body language come to mind. We are observing and essentially talking to infants through an intrinsic form of body language and the babes self-other awareness.…

    The development in children of a young ages increases in the first few years of their life. A child aged between 0-3 their language and communication development they begin at the pre-linguistic stages starting with cooing which usually comes at around 6 weeks; this is where a baby makes cooing noises to show pleasure. These early sounds are different from the sounds they make later on which is mainly because the mouth is still developing. At 6-9 months they begin babbling; blending consonants and vowels together to make sounds that are tuneful e.g. ba, ma, da. By this time they have learnt important and essential communication skills, including eye contact, recognising some emotions and responding to them. Then at the 9-10 month stage they produce a range of phonemes or sounds however they become more limited and reflects the phonemes used in the language they are hearing. At this stage they can understand 17 or more words, they have now learnt more communication skills for example if they point or raise their voice they can attract adults attention. They can understand quite a lot of what is being said to them through word recognition and reading faces. Now when they reach the 12 months mark they repeatedly use one or more sounds which have meaning to them. These ‘first’ words are often unclear and so gradually emerge, usually one sound but use it regularly in similar situations. Then as they become older (13-18 months) they start to use one word in a number of different ways. They use holophrases to make their limited vocabulary more useful to them. One word is used in many different situations, but the context and tone of voice helps the adult understand what the toddler means. Usually by 18 months they now have between 10 and 15 words. At this time they have fully grasped how to get attention and know how to make adults laugh. The 18-24 month is the two word utterances (telegraphic speech) stage, where they grasp…

    At around nine months, human infants go through a social revolution. They begin to understand what adults are trying to communicate when they point and begin pointing out things to other people. By paying attention to the reactions and gestures of other people, as well as to what other people are paying attention to, infants are beginning to read other people’s intentions. This ability provides a foundation for all forms of culture and communication.…
