What is receptive language<\/strong>?\u00a0 Although it means our understanding of language, it is not commonly understood among parents\/caregivers.\u00a0 Most of the time the focus is on expressive language, which is how we use language. \u00a0One of the top questions on the questionnaires we as parents\/caregivers fill out during regular pediatrician visits is \u201cHow many words is your child saying?\u201d.\u00a0 However, almost more importantly, we should know what our child is understanding<\/strong>!\u00a0 We can attach labels to everything our children see or experience in their environment very early on!\u00a0 From the time they are tiny, we are talking to them; during feedings, diaper changes, and play.\u00a0 This is how they begin to learn that everything has a name!\u00a0 As they begin to sit supported or independently, you can help them learn through all of their senses, then helping them to touch or eventually point to objects\/pictures as you name them.\u00a0 Then they begin to walk and you can begin to give simple directions, as well as, make sure they respond to their names.\u00a0 For example, \u201cJoey, get your cup.\u201d.\u00a0 You will also most likely need to point at first to show them where it is or walk with them to show them to pick it up.\u00a0 As you praise them for following through, they will begin to learn names of objects they use or need on a regular basis, as well as, action words.\u00a0 Soon, they will begin to respond to \u201cWhere is Daddy?\u201d by waddling over, or remembering where they put their favorite toy as you wonder out loud, \u201cWhere did that ball go?\u201d, finding it for you!\u00a0 You can eventually begin to include them in some simple household chores, such as telling them to take out all the socks in the laundry basket for you\ud83d\ude0a.\u00a0 Children learn best from their parents\/caregivers through every day routines\/activities.\u00a0 Start early talking to them and they will show you early on how much they take in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
