More speech directed at children, whether from parents or through media, correlates positively with language development, but quality interaction enhances learning and comprehension.
High-quality conversations with children can be fostered by narrating daily activities, introducing new words, and asking engaging questions during interactions.
Research has explored the balance of quantity versus quality in parental speech, with findings suggesting that while quantity matters, the richness of language is equally essential.
