Language Ability

A lot of researches have been conducted to show what determines our character, personality or our behavior. For instance, most people believe that women talk more than men. As a matter of fact women are more verbal in private situation; meanwhile, men talk more in public situation. It can be seen these differences in children. Little girls like to play with their best friend with a lot of conversation; while, little boys often play games in group. Recently, researches show that not only nature can influence on language ability, but also nurture does. There is some evidence that parents talk to their daughters more than their sons. Also, when they talk to their daughters, they talk about their emotions with details. It begins from the newborn age, because the boys are less developed than girls, so they respond to their parents more. Consequently, parents begin to talk more to their daughters. This topic was very interesting to me. Before reading this topic, I never thought that parent’s behavior can make difference on their daughter and sons language ability. As a mother, I try to speak with my children more and more, because I know it’s the best way to develop their language ability.
