Infant and toddler interactions with adults: The role of language in social development
Prof. Dr. William Mosier member of Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Child Development, gave suggestions to child development specialists in his article where he emphasizes the importance of adult-child interactions for social emotional development in infant and toddler.
Longitudinal studies NSCDC, (2007) leave little doubt that the acquisition of language during early childhood significantly impacts the development of social competence and healthy emotional self-expression in adulthood. Studies suggest that limited exposure to language, prior to school entry, has the potential to severely limit the development of social skills (Burchinal, Robers, Zeisel, Hennon, & Hooper 2006).
