Language is a great power.
Parents and caregivers are crucial partners in helping empower early language development. First words Babies' first vocalizations are throaty coos. A baby may not say all the sounds in a word, but he might say beh for bread or duh for the ducks you take him to feed in a pond in the park and the ducks you point out in his favorite picture book. Some children find it difficult to coordinate their tongue, lips, palate, and other language-production parts, so toddler pronunciation may be difficult to understand. Toddlers often say shishy for fishy, lellow for yellow, or wun for run.
