Chatter matters!
Your baby learns to talk every time you talk to them. Your baby learns to listen every time you listen to them.
Your baby changes at each stage of their development, and in turn your role as a parent develops with how to support their language and communication skills. As you notice changes in your baby, you will notice changes in yourself.
Top tips:
- Use your baby’s daily routines: routines such as changing their nappy, feeding, bath time, and bedtime can offer you a great opportunity for some face-to-face contact and talking time
- Sing nursery rhymes to your baby: they recognise and loves the sound of your voice
- Copy your baby’s sounds and facial expressions: this helps to develops their communication skills
