Brain-Building Tip of the Month
Don’t be afraid to babble with your child. When your child starts to make noises, treat it like a real conversation and mimic the sounds right back. All kinds of conversations help to build children’s brains—even when they’re still learning how to talk. By following your child’s lead and responding, you spark the connections he/she needs for language and communication later.
