LADIES,
HAVE YOU HEARD?

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

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.
