A Child’s Development

When we think of how young children learn to speak language, the “answers come from three schools of thought, each of which is connected to a theory—namely, behaviorism, epigenetic theory, and sociocultural theory. The first says that infants learn language because they are directly taught, the second that infants naturally understand language, and the third that social impulses propel infants to communicate” (Berger, 2009). Young children’s language development will be guided by all three theories. As Professional, we have to guide young children learning and development.
