Being two years old is an exciting and vibrant time. There is so much to see, do and explore as an incredible amount of learning takes place. A major milestone at this age is the development of language. This is often considered an aspect of cognitive learning; however, it is important not to overlook the social connection and shared understanding that is supported through language.
Children with access to a range of positive language experiences are clearly at an advantage. They have opportunities every day for learning vocabulary through meaningful communication with people who care about them. This creates an environment where early language use is celebrated and encouraged.
