when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention.
Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by 6 months of age.

By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understand the meaning of the words.
By 18 months of age, most children can say between 8 and 10 words.
By 2 years of age, most children are able to make simple statements.
By ages 3, 4 and 5, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases.
It is at these ages
