The article assesses the effects of communication in learning a language. In order for parents to develop children’s communication, they need to help them gaining the skills to understand as well as express their information, feelings, and thoughts. To be better, children need to hear and practice speaking more often. It also calls into question how parents should deal with their children who are learning more than one language.

It also explains in details the reasons behind their choices and proves in many ways how applicable their suggestion is. Since the information comes from a reputable source and is based upon facts, it is useful for my research. It helps me support my idea of the growing languages and the upcoming powerful ones which do not include the Balochi language. Therefore, it is preferable for parents not to teach their children the language for it is not economical.
