In the first video, a mother encourages her young daughter, who is about three years old, to speak on the phone to her aunt. From the video, it is not completely clear what type of disorder the girl might have and how severe it is; however, it is safe to assume that she is diagnosed. Modern speech pathology distinguishes between a language and a speech delay: In the first case, children might be able to master pronunciation but struggle with building sentences.
In the second case, children know how to use their words, but the result is barely comprehensible due to their faulty diction. The way that the mother in the video involves her daughter in a normal everyday activity might tackle both speech and language delays. First, even though her child is small, the woman does not resort to using baby talk: she does not substitute or distort words. When being exposed to normal speech patterns, a child is able to repeat and learn.
Second, the mother does not seem to be ashamed of the fact that her daughter is different – she seems to be positive and optimistic and wants her child to bond with the rest of her family. Moreover, this is a real-life situation, and a child is more motivated to take action. Lastly, the woman offers her phrases that she can use to talk to her aunt, which helps the child with pronunciation in case she struggles and sentence structure if it is her weak point. All in all, child engagement in normal everyday situations develops both his or her receptive (what is understood) and expressive (what is said) language.
