Young children develop communication skills from birth. Parents and childcare providers play an active role in helping children grow in their ability to communicate effectively.
Communication includes:
Speech- has to do with how we pronounce sounds
Language- has to do with how we understand, speak, read, and write messages.
Voice- has to do with the quality of our spoken message (tone, volume, how the actual voice sounds)
Fluency- has to do with the flow of our spoken message (smooth or interrupted)
And much more..
