I had a nice talk with a parent on the phone
the other day.
Her daughter does not yet use
much language.
I suggested that she could have a lot of fun
and be of huge use to her child
by playing with differences in the world of sound.
It could be differences
in pitch,
going eeeeee in a high pitch
and eeeee in a low pitch.
It could be differences in long and short:
laaaaaaaaa and la
la and laaaaaaaaaa
It could be differences in sound
ma ma ma ma
ba ba ba ba
It could be differences in fast
and slow
ma////////////////ma//////////////////ma////////////////////ma
and ma ma ma ma
All sort of combinations
could be invented and played with
ba ba baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ba ba
ma ma maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ma ma
and the ba and ma could be different pitch
When the child hears the difference and begins to play
with them
she is learning the basis of language.
"The dog is in the house" can
wait,
first play with da da da n nnnn nn n nnnn hoooooooooo
huuuuuuuuuuuuu haaaaaaaaaaaa heeeeeeeeeee
ssssssssssssssssss snake salad slippery and so on
the "dog in the house" will come
It's like how I explain our system is so different that the rest
by talking about crawling.
Take a child who doesn't crawl
and do
accupuncture
energy work
spinal adjustment
stretching
and you'll get no results, and probably a lot of
discomfort in most of these,
since babies aren't masochists yet
Take a child who can't crawl
and show her connections of pelvis to shoulder
and to knee and to ribs and to head
little soft
showing of connections
and you've given information
and information
which is the learning of differences
that make a difference
is what the nervous system
lives for
it's called learning
it's great
go out and have a learning day
ciao
