Communication is key to happiness .With good communication you can communicate your thoughts and understanding clearly to other people.This will help in getting along in relations and in life.
Developing communication skills and inculcating self-learning early on is very helpful in kids . The aim is to help development of both right and left side brain activities in young kids so as to have balanced development. Few tips on developing these in time you get with kids. An early start is best in this case. :
- Developing the bond-to get child to communicate it is important to develop the bond, spend some quality time with kids. Show them the world - For small kids, parents are their guide- eyes and ears. Take them out to garden, evening walks, picnics ,at a outdoor event
- Communication with signs - This is very helpful as facial expression and body language are very important parts of communications. So body language, smile, eye contact and voice all play important role.
-Talking to Infants - this would involve telling them what is going and asking lot of questions making them feel the that interaction is required from both sides. Try and do this very slowly , try and speak clearly and use simple language to encourage them
- Taking toddler to library, letting them play with books, and getting them lot of picture books helps a lot. Also they observe in library that even adults read books, which makes them more interested in books as kids think of themselves as little adults. They want to do everything big people do.
- Listening and making them sing . Music in any form as rhymes, poems or songs is easy for kids to grasp
- Story telling - Let them be free and creative as they listen their favorite animal stories or fairy tales. Tell them famous children stories and be prepared to listen few from them. Appraise them even if their stories and mindless chatter don't make much sense to you
- Create a place for child at home, a small corner of his own - A place where kids self learn, create, read , play, doing small things and where they enjoy talking to self .- Reduce Digital time , in these initial years bonding is really important reducing TV, Ipad, games time and substituting it with playing with toys, crayons, clay.
Don't stress around kids at anytime, remember spending quality fun time with kids should be the priority. So if for few minutes everyday you have to become child with your kid and play with them, Enjoy every moment of it.

-Teach them by doing it yourself- Start with using conversational words like good morning, thank you, sorry ,please ,wait ,stop etc more often. And as you get use to them so will they.
-Taking children to regular outings, where they can see and interact with other kids their age is also helpful.
