50-Lancaitar Farming, Saturday, Scptambr 13. 1975 LADIES, HAVE YOU HEARD? By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist How a Child Learns to Speak Language la a vital part o( being human, so moat parents anxiously await their children’s first words. But don’t panic if your child is alow to talk. Children generally begin to speak at about the same age. But there can be a big difference between in dividual children. Baby’s first speech is babbles, goes and gurgles. At first, it’s a sound of discomfort. Later, the baby uses speech as a way to get your attention. At first, babies produce many combinations of sounds. When they are about five or six months old, they begin to differentiate sounds and use only those which belong to the language of the adults around them. At about six to nine months, the child’s speech takes on a definite pattern as he prepares for his first word. Hie pitch can range from high to low, and he begins to imitate the sounds of adult speech. At the same time, the baby begins to understand certain words, and to react to them in an appropriate way. If you say “stop”, the baby knows what you mean. Before that age, the baby responds to your tone of voice rather than the meaning of the word. When the baby is about a year to fifteen months old, he should be ready for his first words. They are usually about the objects around him. These nouns make up about half oj an eighteen month old child’s vocabulary. Real language begins to develop when the child begins to use grammar the rules which allow words to be formed into sentences. A child does this by developing his own rules and applying them to his own language. The rules develop Farm Women Farm Women Society 6 met on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Milton Gove United Methodist Church. Hostesses were Mrs. Bernard Thome and Mrs. William Thome. The meeting opened with the singing of the theme “Brighten the Corner.” Devotions were in charge of Mrs. Esther Frey whose theme was Adventure in Learning. She read I Cor. 12:31 and Phil 4:8, 9 and an article on Desire the Best. This was followed by the Lord’s Prayer and the flag salute. Roll Call was an swered by giving a Penn sylvania Dutch expressions. The group was entertained at a luncheon by Society 20 on September 4. During the business meeting the following officers were elected: Pres. Anna Geyer, Vice Pres Sara Holsberg, Treas. Mary Thome, and Corresponding Sec Minnie Wolgemuth. The program was given by Robert Bishop of Rheems He showed slides of Ger many, Austria, and Holland The next meeting will be on Oct. 4 at the home of Minnie Wolgemuth. through tnai and error, and the child modifies them to resemble adult language. There are several things you can do to help your child develop language. Most important, talk with him. Remember, this is not the same thing as talking to or at him, or for him. Try to get the child to talk more often. When somebody asks him a question, let him answer. Even if your child is slow to speak, he will improve much more quickly if you let him speak for himself. Finally, let your child be creative with language. You can encourage this creativity by accepting his new words, letting him tell you stories, and let him tell you what he’s thinking about. Creative Handcrafts Make Interesting Hobby You’ve probably fclt a need to pursue an abso bing hobby at one time or another if you aren’t already in volved in one. A hobby can be an engrossing outlet for your talents if you’re willing to spend the effort. You don’t have to be a gifted artist to find crafts an excellent creative outlet. If you’re flexible, alert to new ideas and ways of doing things, and have some awareness of color, texture, and pattern, you’re ready to try handcrafts as a hobby. To decide what craft is for you, explore a bit. Don’t dabble at many different things, but concentrate on one thing and give it all you have. Build on a skill you already have if you’ve done very little in crafts and you’re unsure of your interests. Perhaps you enjoy sewing, then applique, creative stltchery, or rug making may be one of your choices. Handwork takes patience, but you can do speed hooking, machine stitchery, or knitting on big needles more quickly with im mediate results. For your first crafts at tempt, experiment with materials around you. Be creative and you’ll find your original work will be more challenging and more rewarding than a kit or stamped pattern. If you want to learn more about a particular craft, the best way may be to join a class. You can also visit your library and study books on the crafts of your choice.
