As kids grow up, they are naturally inclined to explore new words, their meanings and are excited to use them in their language. One of the the many types of words are called descriptive words which are also known as adjectives. These words teach kids how to describe people, places, things which adds detail to their communication.
A child has many creative thoughts, feelings and emotions in their thoughts. They often struggle to express it due to lack of vocabulary. These descriptive words come in handy as through these kids learn to speak their mind with a sense of clarity and in detail. This makes their language quite interesting, fun and engaging.
