Some parents teach their children on practicing negative virtues instead of positive values (Balter, 2000). The book shows ways in which parents shape the language of most kids at their young age. Introducing harsh vocabularies always affect children where most parents are discouraged from using. The environment the child is exposed to also matters.

Vulgar language spoken by children is used in the media where children learn.

This book shows that many children who experience language disorders are exposed to hard vocabularies at their young ages. Television contributes to positive and negative impacts on children during their language development processes. Children who watch television much are likely to have problems in their speech than those ones who do not (Hamaguchi, 2010). Young children should not be exposed to harsh vocabulary and terms since they get confused. Children who are exposed to hard vocabulary on television are not able to express themselves fluently since they get confused. Television watching teaches children some values which are not taught in schools. Children are able to learn some vulgar language (Hamaguchi, 2010). This affects most children at schools since vulgar language is unacceptable in schools and public institutions. Parents should buy their children reading materials instead of exposing them to television since they are exposed to wrong values. Reading materials are the best and contribute to language development in a positive and acceptable way.

This book is highly recommended for this research since it provides accurate and reliable information. It provides useful information regarding language development.
