A child's natural language ability is formed right from birth. In the first months of life, the baby shows this ability through crying and babbling. The older the baby is, the more he or she is exposed to and imitates the world around him or her, the more fluent his or her speaking ability becomes. However, each child has his or her own pace of development; some children speak quickly and some speak slowly, some speak a lot and some speak little. Parents can consider teaching their baby to speak early if they feel it is necessary.
