We see it as a necessity for the child to build and organize his personality. The Human Tendency of Communication urges us to express ourselves. This expression is the unique and erective part of our nature. The dictionary defines creativity as giving form to something. We do this in many ways, but language, the way we think abou t things, is the source of our actions.
Words are as necessary in the privacy of our minds as they are in any public forum.
We also need language to communicate with one another. This is the social aspect of language, which unites human beings by a common bond. The bond between the human beings is their common intelligence, and language is the vehicle that makes the abstract intelligence of the community possible. The baby comes totally helpless into this world. He does not possess any of the faculties that makes us human.
