Children develop speech and language skills while they're still babies.
So, when infants find it hard to learn the basics, frustration can set in for both the child and parents.

IN Q=The general guideline are
((ELIZABETH DALTON/SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST : THE GENERAL GUIDELINES TO GO BY ARE IF THE CHILD IS AROUND ONE YEAR OF AGE THEY SHOULD START SPEAKING USING TRUE WORDS..BY TWO YEARS OF AGE THEY SHOULD BE COMBINING TWO AND THREE WORDS INTO SHORT SENTENCES ))
RUNS=:13
OUT Q=into short sentences

There are ways you can help your child develop their language skills. Specialists suggest talking to your child in parentese or what is called "Baby Talk."
This is done by using a higher pitch, stretching out the words and repeating them more often.
(/////SOT/////)
SOT 02:01:17
IN Q=A parent may say
((ELIZABETH DALTON: A PARENT MAY SAY INSTEAD THERE'S A DOG IT'S RUNNING THEY SAY MAY SAY..DOGGIE..DOGGIE. SEE THE DOGGIE. DOGGIE RUN ))
RUNS=:05
OUT Q= doggie run

But whether or not you should use parentese also depends on the age of the child.
At around the age of four or five parents should talk the child like they were an adult.
And as the child starts to use more complex sentences so should the parent.
If you suspect your child is having problems it's best to seek help early.
(******SOT*****)

IN Q=I definitely think
(BUFFY SCARBERRY : I DEFINITELY THINK THAT ANY PARENT..IF THEY EVEN HAVE THE
