Studies show that early exposure to language and communication can help the child develop better skills once they grow up

Gardner-Neblett and Gallagher from NC's Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute studied the importance of exposing the infant early to language and communication skills. Studies showed that those exposed early to language and communication skills developed better communication abilities later on. The skills include positive talk, facial expressions, body gestures and also understanding others. It is important for the teacher to engage the child in the early years to long talk. More conversations will induce the child the need to express them more. Using long sentences while speaking to them helps them learn the words faster. Gardner-Neblett says, "More high-quality language interactions between children and adults will provide children with the kinds of experiences that can foster their growth.” The researchers streamlined their findings into ten recommended practices which can be followed by teachers and parents alike. The focus is to make the children more communicative when they grow up.
