Babies learn language from the very beginning. They pay attention to your sounds and expressions as you interact with them. Connect to your child with eye contact and talk in a loving tone of voice as you go about your day together. Take turns going back and forth, responding to their sounds with your words and facial expressions. Every time you talk, sing, or point to what you are talking about, you provide clues to the meaning of what you are saying. Talking to your child teaches them about the world and helps you get to know the fascinating person they are becoming!
