The five factors are parental resilience, social connections, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and children’s social and emotional competence (Center for the Study of Social Policy). |
| Voice | The sound humans make as air from the lungs is pushed between vocal folds in the larynx, causing them to vibrate |
| Speech | Talking, one way to express language. It involves the coordination of the muscle actions of the tongue, lips, jaw, and vocal tract to produce the recognizable sounds that make up language. |
