Introduction
The language development of children is central to their social and emotional development. Through language development, children become capable of understanding, listening, talking and communicating their needs, feelings and emotions.
There are 2 main areas of language:
•       Receptive language, where children listen and understand what is said to them or around them
•       Expressive language, where children communicate their needs, thoughts and emotions; expressive language may be written, spoken or signed (sign language) 

As in any other area of development, every child will develop their language skills in their own way and at their own rate.
