Kids Who Talk With Adults Talk Better

Talking with young children is important to their language development, a study has found. Researchers looked at 275 families. All had children ages 2 to 4. Children with high language scores had a lot of conversations with adults. Watching more TV lowered language scores. In conversations, kids will make mistakes. Then adults can correct them, and language skills can improve, researchers said. The study was published in the July issue of the journal Pediatrics.
