The ability to conununicate is perhaps the most important gift afforded mankind, and any breakdown in this process greatly affects one's well being. Education begins in the cradle as adults are constantly talking and exposing the child to speech and to experiences that give him or her language (Hearsay, 1978).Children's performance in school settings as well as their behavior in social groups is based upon their ability to communicate meanings to others. Children who are able to express fine distinctions in meaning will more successfully communicate their feelings, ideas, and attitudes to others (Wood, 1976). Parents are considered to be the major source of stimulation within the child's environment throughout the developmental years (Latzke, 1975). provide an open system of conununication where the child is an active member of the conversation; and provide a semantically rich environment with a lot of opportunities to talk about things and directly experience them. These four methods were also perceived as being most effective by the parents.In sununary, the results showed that the parents of the TAG children were very active participants in their children's language acquisition, and the children were very active members of the conversation, free to express their thoughts and feelings.The findings of this investigator are also related to the results of the Bloom and Sosniak (1981) study of exceptionally talented and gifted children and the effect their parents had on their future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
