Pediatrician: Child psychologists recommend that mothers of one-year-olds not only name objects in the immediate environment, but that they include the color of the object, when applicable  For instance, if a mother hands her child a red ball, she should say, This is a red ball
Nonetheless, even if mothers began to name the color, instead of simply saying, This is a ball,  no real benefit will be conferred to the child, because studies have shown that children under 18-months old do not grasp the notion of color
Children usually benefit from having toys in their environments.
