I am reading a book, Thirty Million Words: Building a Child’s Brain, on the importance of early language development.
I learned that words aren’t just essential to communication, they set up neural pathways that define future aptitude. Think of the first three years: a baby with no words becomes that toddler with a thousands whats and whys.
John 1:1 (NIV)
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
Beginning . . . Word . . . God. It’s God’s glorious plan to start us off with words.
