Parents can give their children a wonderful start in life with an environment of “Language, Literature and Love.”
Babies are programmed to love language. And your baby will delight in conversations you share with the sounds she makes! Your response to her will encourage her to experiment more and more with her own voice. At even at a few months old, she’s amassing a vocabulary. You’d be amazed at the words she can understand, and the more you speak and repeat, the more she’ll learn. That’s why it’s a good idea to talk through tasks and describe with words the events in her life. Narrate your day. Ask questions.
Some parents may feel silly with a lot of one-sided conversations, but the truth is, babies are listening and learning words for many months before they can respond. Even before your baby starts to talk, she communicates with you through facial expressions, body language and crying.
