Language Skills among Children
Language development makes a major part of a child’s growth and development since children need language skills to communicate effectively. Everyone also needs language skills to express themselves and their feelings, and understand other people. One of the ways children develop language and speech skills for such purposes is through hearing other people talk and then imitating them (Durkin, Mok, & Conti-Ramsden, 2013). Children repeat what they hear from other people and how they hear them pronounced. This also explains why children grow up with the same accent that surrounded them while they were growing up.

By the time they hit 2 years, children start speaking more clearly and holding short conversations (Levine, Pace, Luo, Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, de Villiers, & Wilson, 2020). They also begin developing their own opinions and ideas by the time they are 8. This only becomes possible if they are accorded the support that they need by their parents. Such language support is very crucial to their growth and development. Parents and others around children should give the children an opportunity to write, hear, read, and speak in a particular or different language.
Technology has also become crucial in supporting language and speech skil...
