Language development involves much more than vocabulary. Witness this skilled little communicator, shared to TT by leesaturner66, as he engages in a full-blown conversation with his grandfather. If you watch carefully, you’ll notice that he isn’t just talking to “Paw-Paw,” he IS Paw-Paw. Without uttering a single conventional word,...

I bet his Paw Paw chucks his little chin and he mimics the gesture in return

The hand gestures are so great. Especially that last. "Oh stop it!" at the end.

My eldest child was a very early talker. Sentences at 12 mos. So, not much older than this, but equally self assured. She’d make a statement, then say, “DAT’s what I say, uh huh uh huh, dat’s what I SINK!!” (I then realized, I do that, where she learned it!)

My favourite kind of conversation I agree with everything our cute little hero was saying, so much sense at such a young age 😊

Beautifully said, Dan. This is such a powerful reminder that connection comes long before words. Way to Grow sees this kind of early communication every day, filled with gestures, expressions, laughter, and love. Language begins with relationship. 🧡

As young children work to master new skills, their success is almost always enabled by external supports (from both people and things) that allow them to accomplish just a little more in combination than they could on their own. We call this scaffolding - and this video, shared to IG by rachaelmackenziee - is a treasure trove of examples. Let’s start with the obvious. Our hero is right on the cusp of descending the stairs independently… but he’s not quite there. With the help of the staircase railing (which act like a set of training wheels), he slowly but surely makes the trip successfully. An even more interesting example comes when he spots something on the stair: A crumb. While it’s not clear exactly what this crumb is, what is clear is that he REALLY wants to check it out. Mom, however, advises that it’s yucky and not for him. Watch how her language becomes the tool baby uses to overcome his urge to touch it. His eyes remain drawn to it, but he resists the urge to touch it. “Bye crumb!” he announces. Even as he passes, he continues to look back at it. But now it’s game time. He’s approaching the bottom of the stairs and needs to focus on his footing. He repeats mom’s urging to keep coming (“chop chop”) and then scaffolds HIMSELF with private pep talk. “COME ON FREDDIE!” As he makes it to the penultimate step, his attention shifts once more… back to that sweet, sweet crumb. Again we have a window on his thinking as he uses private speech to remind himself… “Oh, it’s a crumb. It’s go away.” So amazing to watch how his successful journey is scaffolded by at least three different types of support - one physical (the railing), one external (mom’s guidance), and one internal (his private speech). I only wish this video had gone another 3 seconds. As it ends Freddie has reached both the final step and the end of the railing - presenting one last challenge. Because it ends where it does, my strong suspicion is that Mom stops filming to provide one last scaffold - extending the hand Freddie needs to make it down safely. Such a cool little vignette.
