Language Deficit
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 9, 2022 (message contributor)
. As families become more dysfunctional, social skills decline. A number of school counselors are noting a rise in “language deficit.” Some parents rarely converse with their children but use the television as a nanny. The result: children recognize but do not grasp the meaning of COMMON words.
I have experienced this phenomenon first hand. One day, a couple of kids (maybe 8 or 9 years old) asked me, “What is this toy made from?”
“It’s made of metal,” I offered.
“Metal? What’s metal?” they inquired. Neither child knew what metal was! Since children learn the art of conversation from parents, it is no wonder some kids are incapable of meaningful discussion. [Source: Ed Vasicek]
