[quote=Toxic Diamond] *virgil holds out her hand *... More words... Please. [/quote] PD: More words? Happy, smile, good, warm, funny, sweet.[quote=whizzball1] -Maddie- Hmm... I am sorry.-Maddie- A child can understand tones at first, like soothing or scolding! If a child has never been exposed to language before, I'm fairly certain words would be totally lost to them without recognisable hand movements! But it seems like these are getting words from somewhere! [/quote] PD: I work with children; they're smarter than most realize.
