Good day to all!

When I was young I noticed that some elderly would talk to their nephew or grandchildren in a gibberish way. It's kind of cute to me back then because, yeah, it's just kind of cute. But some child and toddler educators said that the elderly should not talk gibberish to a child because it is not a proper way to talk to young ones, instead, they said you have to talk to young ones just like adults using correct words (not gibberish). In that way, they will learn the correct words faster instead of the gibberish ones.

Also, some educators said that whenever your child especially a toddler is saying something or telling a story you need to stop whatever you are doing and listen to them because doing so will give your child the impression that you are interested and that you care about what they are saying thus giving them the thinking that they can always count on you and that they can always talk to you when they grow. Educators said that if you listen to a child or toddler to whatever they said it will encourage them again to share their thoughts to you whenever they want thus giving them the security of having someone to lean one which is our job as parents.

Some educator also said that if your child is pointing to something that he or she is not able to get because it was in a high place inside the house you have to get it for them because they said "actions speak louder than words" which is true in every in facet of life.

In my experience, it is indeed important that you listen and pay attention to your child when he or she is talking to you. It is also important that you talk to your child when he or she has done something wrong not to scold them right away.

Let's encourage them to talk to us whatever they like to talk and then after they speak let's tell them what is right and wrong on what they said in that way they will know what was right and what is wrong. Let's talk to our child on the right way. Let's tell them what they have done wrong and tell them not to do it again. Let's listen to them when they want to tell something. Let's encourage them to tell their stories for the day by asking them what they have done the whole day even if they only played all day long.

Let's ask them what they want and if their want is not suitable for their age let's elaborate it to them on ways that they understand, it may not be easy on a toddler, but it will become easier and easier if you are consistent on communicating with every step of the way.

I firmly believe that whatever a child grows into is the product of what we have said and done
