Talk, listen, and respond to your baby
Talking is one of the most important skills your child will learn. It seems to happen naturally, but in fact you have a very important role to play.
The more you talk with your baby and respond to their noises and babbles, the more you help them learn to communicate. This will help them develop good relationships, do well at school and be a confident, happy child.
Talking to your child can fit easily into your day
Talking to your child can fit easily into your daily routine. Why not:
1 - Recite a nursery rhyme while feeding your baby
2 - Talk about the things you see while you are out and about
