What kind of environment facilitates language learning for kids?

Every child grows up in a unique background with different parental influences. 

For example, consider Kid A, who has strong communication with her parents and enjoys plenty of playtime. Kid A travels around the world and has an abundance of books in her bedroom. In contrast, Kid B has busy parents and often finds himself alone, watching TV and eating instant food.

Kid A has numerous opportunities to learn and have fun, while Kid B has limited chances for interaction and practice. Kid A reads about various countries, while Kid B lacks opportunities to engage with language meaningfully.
