Children I personally think learn and acquire a skill by immitation. It
is individual learning via observations. But since children are
different from each other, they observe different things and
formularize themselves concepts in various degrees. Children hence grow
up differently deepending on the interactive degrees each obtained.
Experience expands exponentially during the learning process. This is
dependent upon the innate gray matter also and that skills as well as
manageability is also mostly relying on what s/he was taught and
observed from surroundings.

What you ("personally") think is irrelevant in view of the masses of
cross-linguistic data from around the world: every child, everywhere,
learns its native language in exactly the same way, and it makes no
difference whether the adults fuss over its first word, as in the West,
or just leave it to happen "naturally" as in other cultures.
