You always start with the base which has to be the strong to carry structure over it. Similarly, vocabulary development for a preschooler is a gradual process involving interpretation of a word by simply hearing it.<\/p>\n<p>Words influence the children\u2019s brain and help up in the process of building vocabulary right from childhood.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0One word:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Children start guessing the meaning of a word the moment we speak it in front of them. They understand those lovely words with which we care for them and are very fond of those words. Repeating those words with similar emotions helps children understand their meaning.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>\u00a0Word with great interest<\/strong>:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Researchers suggest that children easily associate objects with their names. They look at those words with names written with great interest, seeking new information for the object in front of them. Names of different objects, people, animals and events are a rich way of extending communication with children. The child shows the first step of identification of anything, say a pet cat, by calling it by its name. Upon receiving response, the confidence and interest levels of children to learn more words increases.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0Words equal to knowledge:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The more words children know, the better they are able to express themselves. More than learning different words for different objects or feelings, the child gains more if he learns variations of one word. As different words are used in different contexts, children learn to differentiate among the appropriate usage of time and place of those words.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0Word most used \u201cThat thing\u201d:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lack of sufficient reading has made even parents struggle for words. Addressing an object, a feeling or a place as \u201cthat thing\u201d is a common but destructive habit among parents. Children, who imitate parents, learn to use \u201cthat thing\u201d as a common phrase for objects they don\u2019t know about. This harms the vocabulary of children concerned.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Learn to say \u201cNo\u201d:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We often don\u2019t realize that constant refusal as a response to a child\u2019s demands impacts his\/her vocabulary too. We keep saying \u201cno\u201d if they remain awake at bedtime or try to put something dangerous in their mouth while playing. These are extremely valid \u201cno\u201d situations. But think about how many times we say \u201cno\u201d during a given day, or even an hour! There is a better way of explaining things?<\/p>\n<p>It so happens that children learn to say \u201cno\u201d before calling their parents. Parents should work out a way to explain their refusal in short, complete sentences so that children try to grasp their meanings too.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Repeat, use new words:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mindfully reuse a few words in interactions with your family so that the children register these words along with their meanings.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Limit new words up to 3:<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t overwhelm children with as many words as you can in a week. This confuses them. They need time to distinguish among the meanings of different words and totally understand their meanings.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Use words with nearest meaning:<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You obviously cannot use the dictionary to explain what certain words mean to such small children. So use contextual clues to give examples of words with nearest meanings. This way, children learn to associate words with other words.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Express words:<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re teaching the word \u2018walk\u2019, enact the process before children to help them understand better. Expressive explanations register in children\u2019s memory as long-lasting information.<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.preplayschool.com\/\">Petals Preschool<\/a> \u2013 we inculcate in our day to day process for the children with real life learning.
