Language development typically follows a predictable sequence. Here are the key stages:
Infancy (0-12 months): Babies begin with cooing and babbling, gradually developing the ability to recognize and respond to familiar voices and sounds. Toddlerhood (12-36 months): Vocabulary expands rapidly. Toddlers start using two-word sentences and understand simple instructions. Preschool (3-5 years): Children form more complex sentences, ask questions, and can narrate simple stories. School Age (6 years and up): Language skills become more sophisticated, enabling children to engage in detailed conversations and understand abstract concepts.
