Answer 1

Answer:

C. Look at the child, and do not look or point at the object you are referring to.

Explanation:

The development of language skills in early childhood is fundamental for the cognitive development and social insertion of the child. Thus, parents should use incentive approaches that lead the child to communicate. Successful approaches include encouraging the child to speak different phrases to increase their vocabulary, actively talking to the child, and showing objects to begin identifying and making associations.
