?Children mimic what their parents do and say but the developmental process differs for each child. Each child learns at his or her own pace, including when they learn to talk.
             A child begins to speaking process by forming basic sounds. Their first sounds are cooing and crying. Crying helps an infant's vocal cords and jaws develop for speaking. Infants hear sounds called phonemes, but they also begin to recognize the vibrations of their parents voices by six months old. The basic sound of their native language is understood, and typically, a child's first word is a simple noun.
             Controlled and repetitive sounds allow children to create syllables. By 18 months, children will be speaking several words but not in a particular order. However, their words will be synonymous with their wants; for instance, they may want more milk. Children may point at the things they want instead of saying the actual words. The parents say the words. Upon hearing the words being said, children will repeat those same words remembering that object the next time they see it. Showing a child objects--and asking her to say what the object is--speeds the development. This is repeated in the classroom when a child is shown the alphabet. Teachers display the alphabet around the class room; they ask the children to memorize and recite what they are taught. Visualization and verbalizing becomes recognition. Children interpret language with pictures and colors. Books are equally important tools used to bridge the gap between two syllable words and sentences.
             Real words are made by the ages of 2 and 3 years; this is also when sentences or phrases are spoken. Grammar and speech consistencies are developed and mastered from watching television and reciting poems or songs. Music will play a large part in familiarizing toddlers with language. This is why children's television shows incorporate music with the messages being taught. Children may relate their words...
