On his first day, surely in his first week, he has, without knowing it, varied his grunts and cries, getting ' early practice at making new sounds. Not many weeks will pass be- fore he will respond with some movement of his head and eyes. He may smile, and make some sounds -- early means of social communication, Pretty soon he is Can Respond others, he will make over and over again. Normally, his mother talks a great deal while caring for him, not concerned whether he gets anything from these sounds of hers or not. She does it because she likes to do it, Better still, if she also does it on purpose to expose him to words and patterns of speech as a part of her commun ication with him and enjoyment of him, After the child is a few months cooing in respcnse to his mother's smiles and tender tones, or even while alone. These cooing sounds -are new development toward speech, Later, he babbles, making many sorts of sounds. Long before he utters his first word, he may have had practice at making most of the basic sounds. Some of them, which he seems to like better than FIGURE FLATTERY By ANNE ADAMS Fashioned for the half-sizes -- | eut to properly fit the shorter, full- er figure!
