[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about taking your kids to museums or the zoo, although it's great if you do that. The vocabulary gap is caused by SES and educational level of parents. Has to do with what your vocabulary and background knowledge are, and your level of education.[/quote] But if that visit to the museum or zoo sparks the parents creativity for conversation, who are you to say then it isn't about those trips? Why discourage anyone from taking their kids to those places when in fact they can help parents introduce a richer vocabulary to their young children? I know people with very high IQs who are terrible conversationalists and are introverts. They are brilliant but they can't conjure up conversation with a toddler out of the blue.[/quote]
