My daughter is six months ancient. I delight in reading the book esp. the part in dialect, effect of TV, how to choose childcare. Most part of the book can be shorter. My spouse got the same feeling.

The in rank is undemanding and clearly summarizes the research out there. It’s a fantastic resource for all parents, not just those families with language development issues. This book partnered with How Babies Talk by R.Golinkoff, Ph.D and K.Hirsh-Pasek, Ph.D is a must!

The goal of the authors is to inform parents about: how children (birth to age five) develop language, the factors that influence language development, and possible causes of language problems. They also hope to show how miraculous language development is and how vital a role parents play. The book is not proposed as a reference for parents of children with language development problems.
The first four chapters cover the language skills that children develop in their first year, second year, third and fourth years, and fifth and sixth years. There are also chapters regarding the influence of gender and birth order, culture, and the media; language development and childcare; and where to get help if you suspect a developmental delay. There is also a reference chart showing developmental milestones from birth to age five. The focus is on spoken language, although there is some discussion on the beginnings of reading, writing, and spelling.
The basic thought of this book is that language is developed, not taught. That is, parents and caregivers should rely on everyday interactions with their children, not lesson plans and flash cards, in developing a child’s language skills. Parents should follow the child’s lead in play and conversation, provide age-apt models of language, and show respect and understanding for what the child says.
Apel and Masterson are experts in their fields and they are very passionate about children and language development. Their passion is contagious and I found myself reading “Beyond Baby Talk” keenly and with fantastic interest. I was even able to overlook their generous usage of exclamation points.
Apel and Masterson sought after the book to be simple to read, but in my attitude they went a small overboard. Each chapter is filled with preview, discussion, summary, review. It was tiresome to read the same in rank over and over again. But, upon skimming back through the book, I realize that I learned more than I plotting and that it stuck pretty well. Still, I would have liked less preview and review and more examples and specifics.

I absolutely loved this book! I devoured the entire book, then went back and reread the section that pertained to my son’s age group. It was so refreshing to hear that you don’t need a bunch of gimmicks, flash cards, or tapes to help your child learn language. They really focus on what is gained from every day interaction and play with your child, and how to use daily situations to enhance language development. Biased with commom sense in rank that takes you out of the competetion mind set and helps get you in sync with your child. This was the first book I have read specifically about language development, and I am so glad I chose this one!
