Developing Communication Skills for Children

WEBWIRE – Thursday, May 27, 2021

Communication is a key component for brain development in young children. In the first 3 years of life, children acquire language skills that allow them to adapt and function. Early language stimulation impacts the development of brain architecture, which provides the foundation for all future learning. Developing good communication skills should take place in young children to have an impact on the child’s future and success in school.

In “More Book Please,” the narrative story is centred on the idea of assisting a child’s ability to communicate through the use of verbalizations combined with gestures or baby signs to highlight key developmentally appropriate words. This stimulates the brain’s language centres, and adding a rhythmical flow stimulates the opposite side of the brain. Using this method bridges the gap between what a child wants to communicate to be able to communicate a thought or idea. This eliminates the frustration for both the parent and young child.

Parents can learn and use movements to communicate with their toddler’s thanks to materials given by a speech and language professional. The book includes drawings and a rhythm that encourages parents to read and gesture to help their children understand and enjoy the book.
