The Role of Parent-Child Interaction in Language Development

 The quality and quantity of parent-child interaction can have a significant impact on a child's language development. Engaging in back-and-forth conversation, reading together, and providing a rich language environment can help children build vocabulary, grammar, and social communication skills. Conversely, children who experience less interaction and language input may be at risk for delays or disorders. Parents can support their child's language development by talking and playing with them often, using rich and varied language, and responding positively to their attempts at communication.
