Child Care Language: This definition is problem-focused, emphasizing prevention and remedy. It recognizes the value of strengthening a child care language's own home where possible. Where this is not possible, a variety of substitute living situations is provided.
child care language welfare services are directed to the social problem of deprivation of parental care. As the accompanying chart illustrates, they are designed to help with society's child care language-rearing task in three important ways: (1) to substitute for parental care either partially or wholly according to a child care language's individual needs; (2) to supplement the care that a child care language receives, or to compensate for certain inadequacies or limitations in parental care; and (3) to support or reinforce the ability of parents to meet their child care languageren's needs.
A primary cause of language retardation among disadvantaged child care languageren is the lack of reinforcement of their use of language. Parents can advance the linguistic development of their child care language through a willingness to converse with him. By asking questions of the child care language, reacting to his statements, and encouraging him to "think out loud," parents can reinforce and reward the child care language's use of language and aid in its further development.
Service designed to substitute for natural parental care, either partially or completely, is still the predominant child care language welfare service. Of the total number of child care languageren receiving child care language welfare services in the United States, more than half are receiving service away from their own homes and their own families.
Substitute care programs include foster family care, institutional care, and adoption.
