Then what is the role of parents in all these naturally decided life-cycle? Parents play a huge role in aiding the child in his development and developing communication skills in children is very important to prepare them for life. It is only through proper communication skills that a child would be able to emote and communicate his feelings and thoughts to the world and the child begins to speak his first full sentence usually when he is 18 to 24 months old.
From babbling to speaking of first words, babies learn a lot from the environment they live in. Children are great listeners and they gradually learn to imitate the sounds of their parents to finally develop their speaking skills. With the identification of words, they start developing sentences through their word’s organization in their memory bank.
