Words Are Like Seeds. It Is Wise to Plant Them Carefully.
Words are like seeds. It is wise to plant them carefully.

Words are the first thing one hears or learns when one starts to grow up enough to make their own attempts in saying and understanding them. However, the question is how do we learn a word? I can conclude that children’s mind is like a garden and every word is a seed that is waiting to be planted there. The development of language is one of the child's most natural and impressive undertakings. Our communication skills set us apart from other species, the animal kingdom for instance, although our first words sound very much like a monkey language. They are also, what brings us together with each other. Babies are born without language, but all children learn the rules of language quite early. In the first years of life, most children learn speech and language, the unique human skills they will use to communicate with other people. The development of speech and language skills are two different, yet linked processes. Speech is producing the sounds that make up words, that is the physical act of talking. Language is the understanding of the words and sounds we hear and also a means of expressing ourselves through the use of both words and gestures. The most influential sower through my whole life is my mother. She had laid the foundations of me becoming a person through reading, teaching, nurturing, and example. Once she told me that every child is like a little seed that needs help to grow and blossom. Every one of them is very different and at the same time unique. Some are eager, impatient, and grow quickly. Others want more time. Some need more care and a “special watching-over.”Sometimes you have to be more patient and careful with others. Therefore, when you honour, value and respect others through your words, you will be amazed of the things you receive in return. The expressions we hear every day become our thoughts and those thoughts develop an opinion about us, whether

    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 language is essential to communicate, whether it be speaking, reading, or signing to others. From the age of birth babies will use “sound, gestures and symbols” (P.Tassoni, 2007 pg 44) to communicate to express their needs. For example a baby at the age of 6 weeks will express “cooling, making cooling sounds to show pleasure” (P.Tassoni, 2007 pg 44) But at the age of 18- 24 months babies will begin to put together two or more words to create a mini sentence. These are world’s to create a mini sentence. This is a baby’s way of singling others language development is progressing “Toddlers begin to combine worlds to make sentences” (P.Tassoni, 2007 pg 44)…
