A guide to early language development from infancy through age three

Drawing on developmental psychology and language research, this guide examines how children begin acquiring language from before birth through their first three years. It brings together scientific findings and developmental milestones with practical discussion of the environments adults create around young children. The book frames early speech and language learning as an interaction between inborn capacities and everyday experience, outlining ways parents can support that process. Its subject is broader than first words alone, treating language development as a central part of early childhood learning.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers seeking an overview of infant and toddler language development
  • Adults interested in developmental psychology and early learning research
  • Families looking for guidance on supporting language-rich environments

Book overview

In their first three years of life, babies face the most complex learning endeavor they will ever undertake as human beings: They learn to talk. Now, as researchers make new forays into the mystery of the development of the human brain, Golinkoff and Hirsh-Pasek, both developmental psychologists and language experts, offer parents a powerfully insightful guidebook to how infants--even while in the womb--begin to learn language. Along the way, the authors provide parents with the latest scientific findings, developmental milestones, and important advice on how to create the most effective learning environments for their children. This book takes readers on a fascinating, vitally important exploration of the dance between nature and nurture, and explains how parents can help their children learn more successfully.
