Check out this miniature comedian! Just as young children develop over time, so too does the sophistication of their humor. Infants take particular delight in visual/physical forms of humor (silly faces, misuse of objects), for example. But by two and three years of age, children’s humor becomes increasingly language-based... show more

When I was little I held one of those plastic rain bonnets in my hand. The kind that fold up and you can put over your hair. I “snapped” it shut and looked over and my baby sister who was in her crib at the time burst out laughing. My mother and I looked over stunned. Mom said “do it again!” I did and she laughed! I don’t mean baby giggles. I mean an actual laugh. From a little baby. We did it over and over and over. We were all laughing!

From a 3-year-old in the back of the car: What does ‘mean’ mean? [he laughed a lot] Me: ‘Mean’ means ‘mean’ [he laughed more and asked the same question several times, laughing each time at the answer]

When my first child was 2, I was getting her ready to go out. I said, "OK, time to boogie." And she blew her nose on me. Then she burst out laughing and said, "Boogie!" Good one, huh?

He’s adorable! And I love his punning, boy after my own heart. I remember trying on a red coat when out shopping with my son when he was around 2 (early talker) and he said ‘oh you’re all red Mummy…like a book’.

Reminds me of my kid. He was abt 2 yo & we were in the ER. I gave him my I-pod to keep him entertained (it was a very long wait). He dropped it and started referring to it as the I-drop

Love the belly laugh! My toddler son named his hermit crab “Shellvis.” As in Shell + Elvis! We always loved that name, and he thought he was quite clever, too’

My grandkids are 2 and 4, both boys, and we have a lot of these! They largely involve creative language and puns about rear-ends and what happens there, so I’ll spare you 😜

Infants are the world’s most accomplished language learners. As the process unfolds, children pass through stages of progressively more complex “babbling” before they begin using conventional words. But babbling isn’t limited to spoken language. Deaf children and the children of deaf parents pass through similar stages as they approximate the use of sign language - which brings us to this video, shared to IG by oursignedworld. Watch how locked in this little guy is as he “speaks” with his deaf father, observing dad’s sign language and then “babbling” back with his arms and hands. In time he will become both an accomplished signer and speaker. What a lovely example of language acquisition in process.

Let’s give a cheer for this little guy who has reached an important milestone: the development of object permanence. Attributed to Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, the object permanence is just what its name implies - an understanding that objects continue to exist even when out of sight. And while that may sound pretty obvious to us as adults, it’s actually a concept infants develop over time. Piaget theorized - and demonstrated through experimentation that - prior to its development (around 8 months of age) - infants behave as if objects removed from their sight simply cease to exist. As a reflection of their working memory, the bottom line for babies seems to be “out of sight, out of mind.” (In studies, younger babies do not search for a toy covered by a blanket, for example.) But you can tell that’s not the case for this little guy. Watch what happens when the plastic lid becomes inadvertently balanced on the top of his head. Our hero is clearly puzzled by its disappearance. He knows it still exists and begins searching the surrounding area to figure out where it might have gone. In the years since Piaget’s original research, newer studies have called aspects of his theory into question - suggesting infants may develop the concept earlier than originally theorized. But it’s still a treat to watch as babies make these discoveries. This sweet little guy was shared to IG by baby.afection.

Steph Curry says his dad purposefully pulled him completely out of AAU basketball during his most critical developmental years because he was too small and getting physically manhandled. "the competition was kind of getting a little diluted but also i was physically underdeveloped at the compared to some of the better kids at my age" "am i really getting better by just getting physically like manhandled at this at this age" "take those two years to really kind of hone in on a work ethic and a you know physical kind of maturation that could then catch me up"

Your toddler is egocentric. But that’s not a judgement on their character. In fact it’s a completely normal developmental stage. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget is credited with defining egocentrism as related to child development. And what it means is simply that young children have difficulty time seeing the world from the perspective of others. This video, shared to IG by maggie_robertson, is a perfect example. Watch as this little guy plays hide and seek with his mom. While his eyes are covered - making him hidden from his perspective - he’s not yet able to effectively consider the fact that he’s “hiding” in plain sight of his mother. He lacks what is often referred to as “theory of mind” when it comes to putting himself in mom’s shoes. In his own writing, Piaget described egocentrism as resolving by around age seven. But this tendency isn’t controlled by an on-off switch - it’s more like a dimmer switch through which children’s self-centered outlook fades over time. Indeed, you’ll note more and more examples of your little one displaying theory of mind over time.

From 0 to 60 in X seconds… For years that’s been one of the benchmarks used by auto manufacturers to describe the rapid acceleration of the world’s most powerful cars. It’s also a perfect metaphor to wrap up two weeks of posts focused on the language acquisition of young children. Babies enter the world with cries and gurgles… advance rapidly to complex forms of babbling, and generally speak their first words within a year. Their vocabularies growing exponentially, they begin stringing simple sentences together shortly thereafter and by two years of age, become surprisingly powerful little communicators. From 0 to 60 in just a little more than 24 months. It’s really amazing to witness. I began this series with video of a baby’s first sounds, captured in a hospital maternity ward. So what better way to conclude it than with an example of the end result? I got such a kick out of listening to this little one, age two, discussing her exasperation over the family dog’s need to bark at… well, everything. Check out not only her complex vocabulary and grammar, but her expression and tone… The way her personality is exposed through her vocalizations. Listening to her it’s hard to imagine that roughly 18 months prior she’d not yet spoken a single conventional word. Talk about acceleration! 🏎️ Of course this isn’t truly the end point for language development. Her vocabulary will continue to grow throughout her lifetime, for example… but the foundations of her lifelong success have been laid… transforming not only her ability to communicate but the very ways she is able to think. Language is arguably humankind’s most powerful tool. And it’s mastered rapidly by its most efficient and precocious little learners. This fantastic video was shared to IG by harperraeels.

Check out this little guy’s wide-eyed wonder as he experiences his first car wash. It’s a perfect example of something I shared in an interview with Irish Examiner last week in advance of my visit to Cork on Friday: Exposing your child to new sensory/educational experiences needn’t be exotic, distant, or costly. Indeed, so many of our daily experiences can be the catalyst to new learning, vocabulary, and more. Going to the grocery store. Taking a walk at a local park. Folding the laundry. Going through the car wash. As you go, take time to narrate your day. Describe the colors. Name the new things. Pose questions…even if your child remains too young to respond conventionally. Remember that receptive language (what we hear and understand) precedes expressive language. Your child is soaking it all in and will be better off for your efforts. This lovely video was shared to IG by MiyaEva.

Object permanence is the understanding that things continue to exist, even when they can’t be seen. And it’s not an understanding your baby comes equipped with. Indeed, during the earliest months of life, if you remove a toy - for example - from your baby’s line of sight you’ll find they react as if it was never there in the first place. In this case, out of sight means out of mind. But that all begins to change, typically between 7-10 months. This little guy - shared to IG by AFVofficial - has a clear sense of object permanence and shows us in two ways: First with his astonishment over dad’s sleight of hand and then with his efforts to track - and seek out - the ball as it moves into dad’s other hand. What a fantastic illustration of his developmental milestone.

Prepare to be dazzled. Young children are the world’s most efficient language learners - and easily master the challenge of bilingualism in supportive settings. Check out little Sam here as he switches back and forth seamlessly between Polish (the native language of his mother) and English (his father). Research suggests that bilingual/multilingual infants readily distinguish between the languages to which they are exposed, without any evidence of confusion. They are adept at recognizing the unique rhythms associated with each language - and can even visually discriminate between the unique (and often subtle) facial movements associated with different languages. Contrast this with the challenge of language learning as adults. How many of us took a foreign language in high school or college but cannot even begin to claim Sam’s level of fluency? 🎥 babysamanddad TT

Here is the real voice of Einstein. In 1941, the great physicist was recorded reading an essay he wrote called "The Common Language of Science." In this fascinating excerpt, he warns of the dangers of "errors and deception" that come from letting your language (and ideas) drift away from the reality perceived by your senses. Good message for all times — especially ours. The Common Language of Science The first step towards language was to link acoustically or otherwise commutable signs to sense-impressions. Most likely all sociable animals have arrived at this primitive kind of communication--at least to a certain degree. A higher development is reached when further signs are introduced and understood which establish relations between those other signs designating sense impression. At this stage it is already possible to report somewhat complex series of impressions; we can say that language has come to existence. If language is to lead at all to understanding, there must be rules concerning the relations between the signs on the one hand and on the other hand there must be a stable correspondence between signs and impressions. In their childhood individuals connected by the same language grasp these rules and relations mainly by intuition. When man becomes conscious of the rules concerning the relations between signs the so-called grammar of language is established. In an early stage the words may correspond directly to impressions. At a later stage this direct connection is lost insofar as some words convey relations to perceptions only if used in connection with other words (for instance such words as: "is", "or", "thing"). Then word-groups rather than single words refer to perceptions. When language becomes thus partially independent from the background of impressions a greater inner coherence is gained. Only at this further development where frequent use is made of so-called abstract concepts, language becomes an instrument of reasoning in the true sense of the word. But it is also this development which turns language into a dangerous source of error and deception. Everything depends on the degree to which words and word combinations correspond to the world of impression. What is it that brings about such an intimate connection between language and thinking? Is there no thinking without the use of language, namely in concepts and concept-combinations for which words need not necessarily come to mind? Has not every one of us struggled for words although the connection between "things" was already clear? We might be inclined to attribute to the act of thinking complete independence from language if the individual formed or were able to form his concepts without the verbal guidance of his environment. Yet most likely the mental shape of an individual growing up under such conditions, would be very poor. Thus we may conclude that the mental development of the individual and his way of forming concepts depend to a high degree upon language. This makes us realize to what extent the same language means the same mentality. In this sense thinking and language are linked together.

Not JossGawin related… but kinda related 👀 This is like my laoshi Teacher Kevz love story how he met P’Fei and what actually matters in a relationship. Like meeting in the same place, somehow following a similar career path… but most importantly, the sense of humor. When you get each other’s lame jokes, when you share the same sense of humor… that’s what really keeps a relationship going. Even the small things matter when you decide to go long-term. Lowkey… just like JossGawin. P’Gawin finds every dad joke, every lame joke from P’Joss attractive and fun ✌🏻🙂‍↔️✌🏻 they literally have the same sense of humor, same career path + speak English lmao 🤣🤭 Anyway, check out this podcast full clip here - Follow his IG too ✨ #KevinLiu

Your baby is a learning machine. 🧠 Consider for a moment just how much knowledge this little guy - whose language is still mostly unconventional - has absorbed about the world around him. Watch as he: • Engages in one half of a spirited - if imaginary - phone call. He’s still sorting out the words, but his tone and cadence speak volumes about how carefully he’s listening to the important adults in his life. • Displays his knowledge of how a phone is held and used. • Knows to end the call with both a “bye-bye” and the act of hanging up. • Pauses for conversational turns and even laughs at his imaginary conversation partner’s story. Such an observant little guy! —— This expert cell phone user was shared to IG by camillmichele.

Now here’s a little guy who LOVES his pacifier. This is a topic I’ve avoided to date, largely because there are so many varying opinions on the matter. For me the question isn’t so much whether to use one, but for how long. Infants are born with a strong sucking reflex and pacifiers can help them to soothe and sleep. There’s even some evidence to suggest that sleeping with pacifiers might reduce the risk of SIDS. In short: for babies (up to a year), I’m a fan. But it’s not uncommon to see children with pacifiers well into toddlerhood, and in some cases, even beyond. And here I’d raise some cautions. Children who rely heavily on pacifiers may be more prone to middle ear infections. And dentists note that prolonged pacifier use can affect your child’s teeth and create bite issues. Perhaps most importantly is their potential to impact expressive language development. Your child’s ability to speak is an important one. After a point, language shapes not only the content of our thinking, but the very structure of our cognition. By otherwise occupying the mouth over long periods of time, pacifiers may slow language development by limiting opportunities for expression. Speaking with a pacifier in the mouth can also lead to distortion of speech sounds (even when they aren’t in the mouth). All told, I’m an advocate for beginning to wean off of pacifiers at around one year of age. The transition can be difficult - but not nearly as challenging as for a child who has become dependent over a period of years. Do/did you use pacifiers with your child? Why or why not? How did you help transition away from their use? This sweet little one (for whom a pacifier is still completely age appropriate) was shared to IG by voroujakeman.

Your child is always watching. Listening. Learning. And they want nothing more than to be like you. Check out this little guy who’s joined his dad for a little jog, which he’s decided is the key to becoming muscular like his father… even pausing mid-run to check whether “bumps” have developed on his arms. Sometimes it’s tempting to believe children are too young to notice the language we use and the behaviors we demonstrate. But they aren’t… even as infants and toddlers. They are always watching, listening, and learning. It’s a big responsibility. So be the role model you aspire to be. This amazing father-son duo was shared to IG by weatherford5.

Let’s talk about language-rich environments. One of the determining factors in both the speed at which your child develops language and the size of his/her early vocabulary is exposure to (direct & interactive) caregiver speech. Even before your baby is using language conventionally, he/she is soaking up all of yours. (And I do mean ALL… keep it G-rated.) One way to support your baby’s language/brain development is to narrate your life together. (Engage your child by talking about the steps you’re taking as you fold the laundry, for example. Or describe what you’ve received as you sort through the mail.) This grandpa gets a gold star here - not only narrating, but turning the simple act of rolling a ball back and forth into a thrilling TV sports play-by-play that includes the baby’s name and actions over and over. What a lucky little guy to be so immersed in language. He’ll be better off for it… just you wait and see! What strategies have you used to ensure your child is surrounded by interactive talk? 🎥 Kesler.Brian IG

This grandpa gets a gold star here - not only narrating, but turning the simple act of rolling a ball back and forth into a thrilling TV sports play-by-play that includes the baby’s name and actions over and over. What a lucky little guy to be so immersed in language. He’ll be better off for it… just you wait and see! What strategies have you used to ensure your child is surrounded by interactive talk? 🎥 Kesler.Brian IG

Mom’s little apprentice.👩🏻‍🍼 As children grow and learn, their play becomes increasingly sophisticated. I’ve written often about how toddlers begin their imaginary play close to home, emulating the important adults in their lives. But, in time, their play becomes less tethered to their day-to-day reality. One key to this transition is the emergence of “symbolic play” - which is just what it sounds like. Beginning around 18-months of age, children begin using one object to represent (or symbolize) another. A wooden block might become a car. A banana could become a telephone. And a shoe can become a baby! I’ve shared a lot of videos on this platform, but few that I’ve loved more than this one - which offers a fantastic snapshot of this transition in action. Occupying herself during a long church service, our hero (age: 2 years, 8 months) engages in some imaginary play - silently emulating the caregiving of her parents, but using a shoe to represent a baby of her own. Notice how attentive and tender she is. It’s just beautiful. In time her play will begin shifting toward more and more fantasy. But for now, that’s one well-attended “baby.” This little mother-in-training was shared to IG by edlainevaunacorrea.

Here’s some A+ parental behavior. 🏅 What you’re seeing is an example of sensory play. As babies grow, one of the most important things you can do as a parent is provide safe and varied opportunities for your baby to use their senses (sight, sound, taste, touch and smell) to explore the world. Through a multitude of experiences, children make new neural connections in the brain. Think of how many textures alone there are to experience: soft, hard, fuzzy, smooth, rough, prickly…the list goes on and on. By exposing your child to a variety of sensory experiences, you are not only helping them to understand the world around them - but helping them to create deep understandings and rich vocabulary. I just love the way this dad playfully allows his son to experience rain for the first time. To feel the raindrops, to experience their wetness, to hear their impact on the pavement. His approach makes this new experience safe and fun. And what does baby want as a result? More rain! Outstanding 🧠 building on display in this video shared on IG by ReadersDigest.

How does language begin? There’s a lot of important growth and development that occurs during the 45 month window from prenatal to age three. But among infancy’s greatest accomplishments is language acquisition. So over the coming week I’m going to dedicate this space to a series of posts on the sequential growth of language, which you may be surprised to learn begins even before birth. As your baby’s hearing activates between 18-20 weeks of gestation, they begin hearing their first sounds: Mom’s heartbeat, digestive rumblings, and voice. As you might imagine, sound isn’t crystal clear in the amniotic sac. (It’s not a perfect comparison, but consider how your own hearing changes under water in a swimming pool. You can still hear, but the sounds are muffled and significantly degraded.) For this and other reasons, your baby isn’t absorbing specific vocabulary at this point, but there’s little question that they are beginning to familiarize themselves with not only the tones/sound of their mother’s voice, but the distinct rhythms and patterns of her native language. We’re still only beginning to understand prenatal learning, but research demonstrates that in the minutes and hours immediately after birth, newborns already recognize their mother’s voice and can distinguish (and prefer) their own native language. That’s right: at birth babies’ brains have already begun organizing themselves around their mothers’ native languages. Pretty remarkable, no? It’s the first step in a miraculous process by which young children acquire complex linguistic ability over a period of just months. As for this precious little one, just minutes old, watch how he calms from a cry to an instant silence when exposed to the clear and familiar sound of his mother’s voice. Tomorrow we’ll look at the earliest forms of vocalization. This beautiful video was shared to YT by @lashaviouskirk9862.

Does your little one want to hear the same book over and over and over again? The repetition can be a little maddening for us as parents, but for children it’s actually very beneficial. Favorite books are not only familiar and comforting, but support vocabulary growth and - importantly - your child’s own participation in the reading experience. I just love this video of little Theo and his mom as they read Eric Carle’s Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too? Not only can you tell it’s a book they’ve read together many times, but the familiar, repetitive pattern of the text itself allows Theo to play a role in the reading. Watch as he provides an enthusiastic “YES!” at the beginning of each page. (Note too what a good job he does at matching his “yes” response to the appropriate point in the text itself. It’s the first thing said after each page is turned.) As for vocabulary growth, repeated exposure to new words helps children to internalize vocabulary more rapidly with one study suggesting that children are more likely to incorporate new vocabulary from a book read three times than from three different books read one time apiece.

“That’s not nice. That’s not good…” Let’s talk about the role of language in shaping our thinking. We often think of language development in terms of a child’s ability to communicate with others. But it also plays a transformative role in cognition, helping us to communicate with ourselves and regulate our emotions. In time, language shapes not only what we know and say, but how we think and feel. During the years of early childhood, the acquisition of language revolutionizes young children’s approach to the world. They go from being unable to express their needs and feelings (a frustration that leads to things like crying to biting), to using language to process, communicate and regulate their behavior/emotions. And what a lovely example we have here. Marleigh’s dog Zoey has ripped apart (“eaten”) her stuffed Mickey Mouse toy. Watch how she (with some adult support) uses language to process her frustration and confront the dog. The developing 🧠 at work. Have you seen your child use language to help regulate their feelings (of frustration or otherwise)? 🎥 theyeetbaby IG (which is a great follow)
