The less accepting and more controlling the parents, the less the child will be motivated to learn. Remember, substance is more important than form. As parents, we know that our job is to teach, and we have so much to teach our child that we often find ourselves doing most of the talking. We too often forget that our child learns best by doing, rather than watching or being told what to do and how to do it. When we do most of the talking, our child doesn't get a chance to learn by doing.
All children begin language learning from birth.
For those with normal hearing, they are saturated with auditory language through conversations with and between parents and others, radio and TV, and all sorts of auditory language information. However, if they are exposed to a real visual language, they can develop language at the same rate as children with normal hearing. Learning must be as natural and as much fun as possible. Making a young child sit and pay attention will not encourage language development. Language learning through play is usually the best way.
