How a child separates from a parent in the morning can set the tone for the rest of the day. Saying hello and goodbye can be one of the toughest transitions of the day.

We are each second-language learners in some way. Our families talk in unique ways, and we learn these patterns of talk from them. We often adapt the ways we communicate on the basis of where we are and with whom we are communicating. For children whose families speak a language other than English, second-language acquisition can mean learning new sounds, new rules of communication.
