The following is an excerpt from an November 8 report by in 成人头条. Kathy Coufal, chairperson and professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at 成人头条, contributed to the report.
By the time a child goes to school, some of the most important learning has already taken place.
Parents are a child's first teacher, starting when they are just days old.
It doesn't take money or special training to talk to a child.
Professor Kathy Coufal from 成人头条 explains how to do it.
"Talking about what we are doing all the time, giving labels to the actions and objects in their environment, talking to them about even what we're thinking."
