Eye gaze - maintaining eye contact when communicating. Reciprocality - when the child is anticipating response/can take turn in any conversation that takes place. An abnormal child uses gestures to catch a person"s attention. Such as waving when a child says bye-bye". Is the child intentionally making those communicative actions? when a baby automatically grabs an adults finger: reflex when a toddler refers to his father as da da" consistently to call to him: intentionality. Babbling - consistent sound making (ex: ba ba ba ba); intentional words have different stresses on them (ex: ba-ba may refer to bottle") Motherese" - the language mothers use when they speak to their infant baby. Using soft, loving voice towards child (using obscure vernacular towards baby, soothing tone) You should not talk to your child in this way after the age of one. The first 5 years of age are very important to language development: Syntax becomes more sophisticated (is able to use conjunctions)
