Speaking Aloud.
I truly believe that speaking aloud, learning aloud, thinking aloud, reading aloud and saying mathematical processes aloud, are all incredibly vital methods of developing the brain's thought processes.
To start this learning process a parent could speak to a child and develop a conversation pattern from day one of life! What I mean by this is if a baby babbles to you, babble back. This is fun. First share noises and very soon real words and thoughts will be evident.
Ask a small child what he thinks, then listen to what he says and add to the conversation. I sincerely believe that when you ask a child to say what he thinks, while he speaks his brain is learning to think, to formulate ideas and to put these ideas into words.
Always explain to a small child about the objects around him and what is happening. Listen to and answer his questions.
Where does beetroot come from?
One small three-year-old asked one day at lunch, while his baby sister crawled on the floor; "Where does babies come from? Where does jam come from? Where does beetroot come from?" His mother answered to the best of her ability. He was much more interested in the beetroot.
At five this same child questioned, "I understand, Mum, that as a baby I grew inside you, but why is Dad my father, in particular?" Mother began to explain about conception but was cut off in mid sentence by his comment, "Like the fertilisation of fish eggs only inside the mother. What's for tea?"
The Chattering Toddler.
Quite often children chatter away to themselves even as toddlers. Even adults talk to themselves. Some say this is a sign of madness but I feel it's rather a sign of sanity. It is the way thoughts are developed, tested, sorted and remembered.
