Language Development Milestones
Piper (2012) states, “Cognitive development occurs before children are able to use language. Once they begin to acquire language, that growth is accelerated because language and cognition are intricately linked” (p.166). Having an understanding of the child’s development is essential to support the creation of appropriate learning activities based on children’s developmental stages. You will explore the cognitive and language development milestones and consider what activities you would recommend to parents/guardians to ensure optimum cognitive development to enhance learning in children 0 to 3years of age.

Language Development Activity
In the textbook Chapter 5, cognitive development is explained in tandem with language acquisition. Developing activities that promote positive cognitive development and language acquisition learning experiences is a practice that early childhood professionals engage in frequently. In this discussion, you will develop a language development activity for your selected developmental level.

Ask the child, “Where is the _______. Point to the ________.” If the child identifies the correct object, praise the child’s correct response by repeating the name of the object. “Yea! Yes, that is the ball!” If the child is incorrect, be sure to provide them with correction in a positive manner. “This is the ball. Here is the cup.”
