This is an excerpt from the book Visual thinking. The hidden gifts of people who think in pictures, patterns and abstractions. By Temple Grandin Introduction we come into the world without words. We see light, recognize faces, differentiate colors and patterns. We can smell and start recognizing taste. We have a sense of touch and start grasping things and sucking our thumbs. Soon we start to recognize songs which explains the universal existence of lullabies and nursery rhymes. Babies make lots of sounds. Mama and dada are more random. An anxious new parents want to believe gradually. Language gains ascendancy. By 1.5, most toddlers will have a bunch of nouns and verbs under their belts. By two, they start to make sentences by the time most Children go to kindergarten, they can speak in complex sentences and understand the basic rules of language when it comes to communication. Language is the water. We drink the air we breathe.
