Let’s Review!
I want to take time today to review with you some really effective ways to boost your baby or toddler’s developing speech and language skills:
- Talk! Yes, you’ve heard me say it before and I’ll say it forever: Talk to them and with them! Yes, even when they are babies and they can’t talk back yet. (They sure will try though!) Your baby’s brain is processing language in amazing ways throughout their first year of life (and beyond) and it’s absolutely essential that they hear lots and lots of it so their brain is super primed for language learning and expression!
- Read! Start reading before your baby is even born. Read to them in your belly. Get into the habit and continue it for the rest of their lives!
- Sing! Babies love music and they particularly love their mommy and daddy’s voices.
- Laugh! Laugh with them and build joy! True joy builds deep and lasting relationships and helps the brain form a firm foundation for life.
Get baby-talking!
