Study Notes
Language Development
- Telegraphic speech is characterized by short sentences that resemble telegrams, lacking function words and grammatical markers.
- An example of telegraphic speech is "Mama go" or "Want juice".
- It's called 'telegraphic' because it resembles the concise and abbreviated language used in telegrams.
- Telegraphic speech demonstrates that children are learning to communicate effectively, despite limited vocabulary and grammar.
Factors Contributing to Telegraphic Speech
- Limited vocabulary and grammatical knowledge
- Focus on conveying meaning over grammatical correctness
Language Development Progression
- As children continue to develop their language abilities, they begin to use more complex sentences and grammar.
- Telegraphic speech is a normal part of language development, typically occurring between 18-24 months.
Stage of Development
- During this stage, children are in Erikson's stage of autonomy vs shame and doubt.
- Children focus on exploring and experimenting with their environment.
Parental Support
- Parents can support toddlers' exploration and experimentation by providing a safe and stimulating environment.
- Parents should encourage children to try new things and praise their efforts.
Toilet Training
- Toddlers typically show readiness for toilet training around 2-3 years old.
- A recommended approach to toilet training is a gradual and gentle introduction to the process.
Bed-Wetting
- Occasional bed-wetting before age 7 is not a cause for concern.
Weaning
- In Australia, most infants are weaned by the end of the first year.
- In traditional cultures, feeding into the second or third year is common.
Brain Development
- The peak production of synapses in the frontal lobes occurs during toddlerhood.
- Appropriate stimulation is crucial for a child's brain development during this stage.
- After the peak production of synapses, the brain begins to prune unnecessary connections, refining its structure and function.
Language Development Critical Period
- The early years of life are considered a critical period for language development.
- Children who do not receive intervention for hearing impairments before age 2 may experience significant delays in language development.
- The age at which children receive cochlear implants has a significant impact on the outcome.
Motor Skills
- By their third birthday, children can typically perform various motor skills such as walking, running, and climbing.
