Personal Narrative: Deb Roy
Abby,
When listening, reading, and watching the lectures I found so many things interesting, but I never thought about children and how they understand you such as when you say no. Now that I am thinking back when I babysat, I remember young children could understand things such as no, but all they could do was mumble. Language is so fasinating because children learn, understand, and then talk with the language that surrounds them.
Also, I myself never realized I altered my language to the child’s ability to learn and speak the word. This weekend I visited my cousin who has a 14 month old. As I spent time talking and playing with him I would catch my self altering my language so we would understand. Deb Roy did have some vaild and interesting
