Recent research in the fields of language learning, development, and neuroscience suggests that children's language development relies not only on innate linguistic abilities but also significantly on postnatal learning and environmental interactions. Particularly at home, parents spending time reading books with their children and providing guidance, as well as encouraging interactions with playmates, can help foster language development.

Providing rich language stimulation is crucial during a child's early years.       

Renowned linguist Professor Patricia Kuhl emphasizes that appropriate language stimulation helps accelerate children's language abilities. Research shows that a language-rich environment can create tighter connections in the neural networks responsible for language processing in the brain, thereby enhancing language processing speed and fostering children's language comprehension and expression skills.

Further scientific studies confirm that infants beyond six months who receive diverse language stimulation can activate language expression areas. Therefore, parents or educators should provide a rich auditory language stimulation environment before a child begins verbal expression, for instance, by using interactive sound books to promote language learning. Offering face-to-face language feedback, such as "you're doing great" or "try again," can help children establish a solid language foundation.

According to statistics, approximately 5% to 10% of preschool-aged children may face challenges in language development, impacting their learning outcomes and social interactions. Therefore, early attention and enhancement of children's language learning abilities are crucial. Early language support and intervention can help children overcome language barriers, improve communication skills, and enhance their learning and social abilities.

Given these issues, early attention and enhancement of children's language learning abilities are vital topics. Through early language support and intervention, children can overcome language difficulties, enhance communication skills, promote positive learning experiences, and foster better social interactions. This proactive approach can have a positive impact on the overall development of children.

The guidance focus of early childhood language development can be divided into two stages: the prelinguistic stage and the linguistic stage.

Prelinguistic Stage:

1. Use gestures and combine them with sounds to interact with the child.
2. Encourage the child to make sounds to get adult attention.
3. Play with the child making different sounds like elephants, trains, dogs, etc.
4. Provide more feedback, such as praise, when language sounds appear.

Linguistic Stage:

1. Encourage imitation of various things like object names, foods, actions, body parts, etc.
2. Encourage the child to imitate short sentences and appropriately extend them.
3. Allow the child to describe events on their own.
4. Increase parent-child reading time, listening to and telling stories.
5. Increase various life experiences and open up time for parent-child interaction and sharing.
