Saying "yes" and "no" allows them to express their agreement or disagreement. This stage of language development is an important milestone as it shows their ability to comprehend and communicate their thoughts and preferences.

    • True

    • False

    Explanation
    Using baby talk is not recommended when helping children develop their language. Baby talk refers to the use of simplified and exaggerated speech patterns, which can hinder a child's language development. It is important to use proper language and provide age-appropriate vocabulary and sentence structures to help children learn and expand their language skills effectively.

    Which of the following promote language development in young children?

    • Talk for the child

    • Talk to them in ways that relate to their everyday lives

    • Have the child watch children's TV programs

    Correct Answer
    A. Talk to them in ways that relate to their everyday lives
    Explanation
    Talking to young children in ways that relate to their everyday lives promotes language development. This is because children learn language best when it is meaningful and relevant to their own experiences. By using words and phrases that are familiar to them and discussing topics that they can easily understand and relate to, children are more likely to engage in conversation, actively listen, and learn new vocabulary and language structures. This approach also helps children make connections between words and their real-life contexts, which enhances their comprehension and communication skills.

  • 7. 

    2-3 year old children can generally follow 5 step demands

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because 2-3 year old children typically have limited cognitive and language abilities, making it difficult for them to follow complex instructions or demands that involve multiple steps. At this age, their attention span and ability to understand and process information are still developing, so they are more likely to respond to simple, one-step commands.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    At the age of 3, children typically start developing language skills and are able to understand and use subject pronouns. Subject pronouns are words like "I," "you," "he," "she," "we," and "they" that replace nouns in a sentence. Children at this age begin to grasp the concept of self and others, allowing them to use these pronouns to refer to themselves and others. They may still make some errors or have limited vocabulary, but they are generally capable of using subject pronouns correctly.

    A 2-year-old should be able to use approximately 50-100 words. However, the correct answer is 200+ which suggests that a 2-year-old should be able to use more than 200 words. This indicates that the child's language development is advanced for their age, as they are able to use a wide range of vocabulary at this stage.

They learn new words, sentence structures, and communication skills at a fast pace, allowing them to express themselves more effectively and comprehend more complex ideas. This rapid development is a natural part of their cognitive and social development during childhood.
