Toddlerhood & Language Development

Toddlerhood & Language Development

During toddlerhood, semiotic or representational thinking begins to allow the understanding that one thing can stand for another (Newman & Newman, 2018). This begins language development and the understanding that a word can represent an object. In your own words, describe the process of language development. In what ways do caregivers (and siblings) contribute to language acquisition during toddlerhood? How do differing communication habits with families affect this? For instance, parents who make conversation often with their babies/toddlers in comparison to families who communicate in harsh, threatening voices to one another. How does language development and symbolic play differ as strategies the toddler can use for expressing inner feelings and for solving problems? What lived experience can you offer to reinforce the more theoretical process you describe? Check tips on how to do your Nursing Discussion and Response Assignment.
