The paper explores the role of communication in the development of early and preschool-aged children, emphasizing its importance for cognitive, social, and emotional development. Communication, including verbal and nonverbal forms, is fundamental for children's learning and interaction. The aim of the paper is to analyze various aspects of communication and their importance in early childhood and to provide guidelines for parents and educators to support the development of children's communication skills. In the paper we presented function and purpose of communication, types of communication, and the role of parents and educators in encouraging communication skills in children are examined. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of verbal and nonverbal communication, the importance of family communication, and the impact of technology on children's communication methods. This paper indicates that a rich linguistic environment positively affects children's academic success and development of critical thinking. Quality family communication contributes to children's sense of security and self-confidence, while interactions in preschool institutions, encouraged by educators, significantly enhance children's social and language skills. Proper use of digital tools can enrich children's communication skills, but it is important to ensure a balance between digital and traditional methods of communication. In conclusion, it can be said that the development of communication skills in early and preschool age is crucial for the overall development of the child. Parents and educators should create a supportive environment that encourages children's communication abilities, thereby ensuring their successful development and preparation for future life challenges.
