18:23.669 --> 18:26.872 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Very fine job, Jacob.
18:26.872 --> 18:28.974 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You call that a big bird I bet,
18:26.872 --> 18:28.974 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
hu
18:26.872 --> 18:28.974 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
h?
18:28.974 --> 18:29.975 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Some eagle.
18:29.975 --> 18:32.177 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And let's see what else we've
got here.
18:32.177 --> 18:35.547 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Here's one, ah, this is from
April Robins.
18:35.547 --> 18:41.153 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
April Robins says a bird on this
picture here, take a close look,
18:41.153 --> 18:46.825 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
says a bird is finding a worm
for its baby to eat.
18:46.825 --> 18:48.861 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
That's nice.
18:48.861 --> 18:50.129 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Oh, she sends another one.
18:50.129 --> 18:51.530 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Take a look at this one.
18:51.530 --> 18:57.769 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It's a mouse, a mouse thinking
about eating some cheese.
18:57.769 --> 19:00.772 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Take a look at that mouse
thinking about
19:00.772 --> 19:02.107 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
eating some cheese .
19:02.107 --> 19:04.710 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
You know, all mice think a lot
so I suppose that makes
19:04.710 --> 19:07.312 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
a lot of sense April, it does.
19:07.312 --> 19:09.014 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Very nice.
19:09.014 --> 19:10.983 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Alright and here's another one.
19:10.983 --> 19:16.054 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
This one is from Bobby Dunn.
19:16.054 --> 19:17.356 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Ah, yes.
19:17.356 --> 19:22.461 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Bobby Dunn is five years old and
he's sent us a drawing.
19:22.461 --> 19:24.229 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Take a look at his drawing.
19:24.229 --> 19:28.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
On the back of it it says, "My
sister and I enjoy watching
19:28.200 --> 19:31.770 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
"your show. I'm sending you this
19:28.200 --> 19:31.770 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
pa
19:28.200 --> 19:31.770 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
inting of Rudolph
19:31.770 --> 19:37.176 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the Red Nosed Reindeer, a photo
19:31.770 --> 19:37.176 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
of
19:31.770 --> 19:37.176 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
me skating at Shelby Farms."
19:37.176 --> 19:39.912 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Take a look at this.
19:39.912 --> 19:43.482 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He's really, hey - it looks like
19:39.912 --> 19:43.482 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
he
19:39.912 --> 19:43.482 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
's rollerblading there.
19:43.482 --> 19:44.683 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Very good.
19:44.683 --> 19:46.318 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Thank you very much, Bobby.
19:46.318 --> 19:49.955 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And thanks to your family and
thanks very much, also,
19:49.955 --> 19:54.059 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
to the Robbins family and to
April and her brother,
19:54.059 --> 19:56.695 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
who sent us an eagle, Jacob.
19:56.695 --> 19:58.130 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Thank you.
19:58.130 --> 20:01.967 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You know I like getting drawings
and photos from my friends.
20:01.967 --> 20:06.271 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So if you'd like to send me a
drawing or a photo of yourself,
20:06.271 --> 20:09.007 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
just send it to...
20:22.821 --> 20:26.358 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Then I'll share them with our
friends right here on TV.
20:26.358 --> 20:30.429 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Just remember I can't return
them so only send us the things
20:30.429 --> 20:32.731 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
you don't want to get back,
okay?
20:38.070 --> 20:43.008 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
By age two many children are
good talkers and good listeners.
20:43.008 --> 20:46.211 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Others are just beginning to
verbally express their thoughts
20:46.211 --> 20:49.348 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and ideas and may have
difficulty listening.
20:49.348 --> 20:53.185 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So what can parents do to help
extend and expand
20:53.185 --> 20:56.455 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
a child's vocabulary and
encourage enjoyment
20:56.455 --> 20:58.023 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
of listening?
20:58.023 --> 21:00.592 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Well, that's what we're going to
talk about today
21:00.592 --> 21:02.060 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
here on Parent's Corner.
21:02.060 --> 21:05.197 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
Our guest is
Marion Hammond,
speech language pathologist.
21:05.197 --> 21:06.498 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Welcome.
21:06.498 --> 21:08.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Thank you.
I'm glad to be here.
21:08.133 --> 21:10.168 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Well, Marion, what should
parents look for
21:10.168 --> 21:13.205 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
in the development of language
skills as their child grows?
21:13.205 --> 21:17.843 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The time between birth to three
years is critical.
21:17.843 --> 21:21.546 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Parents, at the very, very young
ages, and I'm talking about
21:21.546 --> 21:24.383 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the first three months of life,
should be looking to see
21:24.383 --> 21:26.618 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is their child responding to
sound.
21:26.618 --> 21:29.288 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
If they hear a loud sound does
that child respond?
21:29.288 --> 21:32.424 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Is the child starting to look at
the parent?
21:32.424 --> 21:35.527 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When you start to get beyond
that first three months of life,
21:35.527 --> 21:37.729 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
you're going to get cooing and
babbling.
21:37.729 --> 21:40.532 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And the parent should be
responding to that cooing
21:40.532 --> 21:41.833 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
and babbling.
21:41.833 --> 21:44.536 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And then when you get to age one
you're starting to get
21:44.536 --> 21:46.004 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
those one word utterances.
21:46.004 --> 21:48.373 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And every once in a while you're
going to get
21:48.373 --> 21:49.941 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
some two word utterances.
21:49.941 --> 21:52.377 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And so it develops up until age
three.
21:52.377 --> 21:55.981 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But by age three, most children
have the foundations
21:55.981 --> 21:58.850 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
for normal speech and language
development.
21:58.850 --> 22:01.219 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
That first birth to three time
is critical.
22:01.219 --> 22:04.790 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
Well, please tell us,
how can parents
help this development?
22:04.790 --> 22:07.759 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
One of the great things a parent
can do with their child
22:07.759 --> 22:09.428 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
is sing songs to them.
22:09.428 --> 22:10.829 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Do nursery rhymes.
22:10.829 --> 22:14.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Simple rhyming words are so
critical and what I think
22:14.266 --> 22:18.403 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is important is start reading at
a very early age to the child.
22:18.403 --> 22:20.505 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Just talk about the pictures.
22:20.505 --> 22:23.342 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
They don't necessarily have to
read the words in the book,
22:23.342 --> 22:25.510 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
but start talking about the
pictures.
22:25.510 --> 22:28.847 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Do very, very simple books that
have rhyming words in them
22:28.847 --> 22:31.983 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and eventually you can say part
of the sentence and the child
22:31.983 --> 22:33.885 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
will start filling in that
rhyming word.
22:33.885 --> 22:36.488 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
That is very, very normal
development for a child
22:36.488 --> 22:38.724 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
and every child likes to sing.
22:38.724 --> 22:40.859 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Tell us, when should reading
begin?
22:40.859 --> 22:42.994 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
It's never too soon to start.
22:42.994 --> 22:45.997 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I believe a parent can start in
that first couple of months
22:45.997 --> 22:49.468 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
of life start talking about
books, showing pictures
22:49.468 --> 22:50.802 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
to their child.
22:50.802 --> 22:53.605 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
There are so many wonderful
books on the market now
22:53.605 --> 22:56.875 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that even have things such as
mirrors on the page so the child
22:56.875 --> 22:59.144 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
can look at themselves and the
parent can talk
22:59.144 --> 23:00.512 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
about the child's features.
23:00.512 --> 23:02.581 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
It's never too early to start
reading.
23:02.581 --> 23:06.451 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And then a child starts hearing
the way words are supposed
23:06.451 --> 23:07.719 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
to be produced.
23:07.719 --> 23:10.555 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And maybe they'll start
imitating at a much earlier age
23:10.555 --> 23:13.925 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
if the parent is talking about
those words at an earlier age.
23:13.925 --> 23:17.195 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Being able to express thoughts
and feelings is obviously
23:17.195 --> 23:19.030 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
an important part of
communication,
23:19.030 --> 23:21.266 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
but it's often frustrating.
23:21.266 --> 23:24.636 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
How should parents respond when
their children have difficulty
23:24.636 --> 23:26.104 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
expressing themselves?
23:26.104 --> 23:29.775 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
That can be very, very difficult
and a very simple thing
23:29.775 --> 23:33.011 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that a parent can do is just say
to the child, "Show me."
23:33.011 --> 23:36.314 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Show me what you want, show me
what you're talking about.
23:36.314 --> 23:40.051 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The next step then would be, for
example, say the child
23:40.051 --> 23:42.287 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is wanting something out of the
refrigerator.
23:42.287 --> 23:45.390 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When the parent gets that item,
say to the child,
23:45.390 --> 23:49.094 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
"Oh, you wanted an apple. You
were trying to tell me apple."
23:49.094 --> 23:50.962 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Sometimes that's a hard word.
23:50.962 --> 23:54.132 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Or just give it to the child and
not even say it's a hard word.
23:54.132 --> 23:56.401 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And then if the child
approximates or attempts
23:56.401 --> 23:59.671 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to say the word apple, say,
"Yes, it's an apple.
23:59.671 --> 24:01.440 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
It's a red apple."
24:01.440 --> 24:04.009 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So expand upon that child's
utterance.
24:04.009 --> 24:06.812 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Or if the child is wanting to go
outside and is wanting
24:06.812 --> 24:09.681 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to go on the swing and can't say
that word, it's fine
24:09.681 --> 24:13.285 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
for the parents to use the words
even if the child can not say
24:13.285 --> 24:16.988 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
them yet, because eventually
that child will pair
24:16.988 --> 24:21.226 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
either the object or the action
with the appropriate words
24:21.226 --> 24:23.261 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and start to say them
themselves.
24:23.261 --> 24:25.564 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It's called saying what they're
seeing
24:25.564 --> 24:27.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
or saying what they're doing.
24:27.666 --> 24:29.334 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Preparing them to talk.
24:29.334 --> 24:31.803 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Exactly.
24:31.803 --> 24:35.774 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Well as you've said, reading to
your child is very important
24:35.774 --> 24:38.343 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
in developing language skills.
24:38.343 --> 24:41.613 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Are there other things parents
can do to develop awareness
24:41.613 --> 24:42.914 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
of the printed word?
24:42.914 --> 24:44.483 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Absolutely.
24:44.483 --> 24:48.286 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
When you take your child out in
a car everyday you see things
24:48.286 --> 24:51.823 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
such as stop signs and when you
stop you can say,
24:51.823 --> 24:55.727 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
"See the red sign? It says
'stop.' S-T-O-P."
24:55.727 --> 24:57.596 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Take your child to the grocery
store,
24:57.596 --> 24:59.631 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
point out familiar objects.
24:59.631 --> 25:03.368 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
There are so many places that a
24:59.631 --> 25:03.368 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
pa
24:59.631 --> 25:03.368 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
rent can take their child.
25:03.368 --> 25:06.404 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
To the zoo is a wonderful thing
because they have the names
25:06.404 --> 25:10.809 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
of the animals printed.
25:10.809 --> 25:13.478 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Anyplace that they have printed
words that the child
25:13.478 --> 25:17.215 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
can associate that printed word
with the object.
25:17.215 --> 25:19.985 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
What are some things that
parents can look for
25:19.985 --> 25:23.889 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
if they feel their child is slow
in developing these skills?
25:23.889 --> 25:27.225 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Parents usually have what I call
a gut level feeling
25:27.225 --> 25:29.060 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that something is not quite
right.
25:29.060 --> 25:31.897 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
For instance, their child will
sit and listen to stories
25:31.897 --> 25:34.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
or pay a lot of attention to TV
but maybe they're not
25:34.566 --> 25:35.934 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
talking yet.
25:35.934 --> 25:39.638 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Or if they are talking they're
not sounding correctly.
25:39.638 --> 25:41.973 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
They're not pronouncing their
words correctly.
25:41.973 --> 25:43.808 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
And this can be of concern.
25:43.808 --> 25:46.278 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And as I previously mentioned
there are some things
25:46.278 --> 25:49.881 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that the parent can work on with
the child, but if a child
25:49.881 --> 25:54.052 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is for instance not using one
word at 12 months of age,
25:54.052 --> 25:58.256 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
not maybe putting words together
by 18 months, 3 or 4 words
25:58.256 --> 26:02.127 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
by age two, not able to label
some objects, then maybe
26:02.127 --> 26:05.630 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
they should be concerned and
should have those skills
26:05.630 --> 26:07.098 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
evaluated.
26:07.098 --> 26:09.467 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Check with their pediatrician
first.
26:09.467 --> 26:11.703 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
If the child is not responding
to their name
26:11.703 --> 26:14.706 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
when they call them, it could
possibly be a hearing problem.
26:14.706 --> 26:17.576 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So those are the kinds of things
they should be looking for.
26:17.576 --> 26:20.445 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
What kind of professional help
is out there?
26:20.445 --> 26:21.713 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
There's a lot.
26:21.713 --> 26:24.849 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The profession of speech
language pathology has expanded
26:24.849 --> 26:28.053 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
so much in the last few years
and in every community
26:28.053 --> 26:31.957 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
there are certified qualified
people to evaluate the child
26:31.957 --> 26:34.192 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
and provide the services.
26:34.192 --> 26:37.662 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Today on Parent's Corner
we've been talking about
26:37.662 --> 26:39.531 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
listening and language skills.
26:39.531 --> 26:41.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Our guest has been
Marion Hammond,
26:41.333 --> 26:43.435 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the speech language
pathologist.
26:43.435 --> 26:45.737 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Thank you very much
for being with us today.
26:45.737 --> 26:47.739 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
Thank you.
26:47.739 --> 26:51.509 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Remember moms and dads, one of
the best ways to develop
26:51.509 --> 26:54.679 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
listening and language skills is
to read to your child
26:54.679 --> 26:57.082 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
at least ten minutes every day.
26:57.082 --> 27:00.585 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It's a wonderful way to spend
time together and the benefits
27:00.585 --> 27:02.387 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
are tremendous.
27:06.191 --> 27:09.861 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
You know, there's much more to
listening than just hearing
27:09.861 --> 27:11.396 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
what someone says.
27:11.396 --> 27:15.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Listening is a part of learning
to communicate.
27:15.200 --> 27:16.534 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
Right.
27:16.534 --> 27:21.172 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
When we really listen, I mean
really listen, to one another
27:21.172 --> 27:25.377 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
we can work together and play
together and get along
27:25.377 --> 27:27.178 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
much better.
27:27.178 --> 27:31.916 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
We'll have lots more fun next
time, but now we've got to go.
27:31.916 --> 27:37.489 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Until then, thanks for watching
and listening, too.
27:37.489 --> 27:38.957 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
So long.
27:38.957 --> 27:39.958 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
