COMMUNICATION – A BIG CHALLENGE FOR A TODDLER
Every one wants interaction with each other. We interact with other people through language – spoken, written, our actions, language of love and care etc.

What about a Toddler ?
A baby on First interaction uses the Action Weeping, then Crying, then Smiling. Touch is most preferable action of a baby as he/she wants to touch and feel every thing. A baby holds the things tightly with a very firm grip.
Until a baby learns a language – speaking or writing, very beautifully uses other means of communication to show his/her understanding of the things.
A baby conveys his / her Love, Care and Needs through various actions and until he /she makes us understand, never gives up. A toddler starts speaking with small words like Maa, Papa, Dadi, Baba, Nani, Nana, Bua to convey us that he/she has started realizing the various relationships in Life. Slowly starts recognising the colours, shapes and other objects around her/him.
A toddler has a capacity of fast learning and imitates what the people around her/him do. Learning becomes fun for a toddler.
When one is alone, books are best friend. Language is understandable if we have learnt reading, writing and speaking. But what about a toddler who has not yet learnt speaking, reading or writing. Pictures attract a child more.

A child is a source of inspiration for all of us. We have to understand his/her actions what he/she wants to convey.
We must learn from the untiring effort of a child until he/she succeeds to convey what he/she means.
