Words are always around. From words children hear from parents, relatives, even television are words they will grow up using. To ensure that your child can and will be successful all you have to do is talk to them. From words like apple, because, coffee, or danger children will soak up whatever they hear around them. Every day errands can be a golden opportunity to expand your child's vocabulary.
