Toddlers can learn language through responsive interactions

According to a new research conducted by the Temple University proves that the interactive sessions can help the toddlers to learn language more easily and quickly. These young flowers learn from every possible way. Learning from proper interactive sessions could be much easier as compared to learning from videos. The co-author of the research Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor of psychology at Temple University explains that, “The study highlights the importance of responsive interactions for language learning. Interactions allow adults and toddlers to respond to each other in a back-and-forth fashion—such as live instruction and the video chats. These types of interactions seem to be central for learning words. The research has important implications for language learning. Children are less likely to learn from videos than from live, back-and-forth responsive interactions with caring adults. Young children are not good at learning language if they're merely parked in front of screen media.”
