For the newborn, the notion of coexistence—that there are others in their world with whom they can communicate—begins with crying. In this program, researchers and other experts join with parents to discuss the steps children go through in mastering their mother tongue. Topics include the process of cognition, a baby’s ability to make use of body language and semiotic gestures, babbling as a precursor to language acquisition, timeframes for learning to speak, and growing up in a multilingual home. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (55 minutes)
