When it comes to communication, baby learns by watching the people around them. Even if baby doesn’t have the vocabulary to have a conversation with you, it’s very helpful for their communication development if you talk to them! Check out these tips for encouraging your baby's communication development:
1. Use a High-Pitched, Sing-Song Voice: Talking in a slow, higher-than-normal pitch can capture and maintain your baby's attention. Singing to your baby can enhance this effect.
2. Be Present: Dedicate 10 minutes of undivided attention to your baby daily. Avoid distractions like phones, screens, and chores.
3. Play with Sounds: Smack your lips, click your tongue, or make silly sounds. Your baby will enjoy hearing different sounds and watching you make them.
4. Use Facial Expressions and Gestures: Help your baby understand emotions by showing different facial expressions and gestures. This helps communicate the meaning of words.
5. Describe Your Actions: Narrate what you’re doing as you dress, feed, and bathe your baby. This helps your baby learn new words and strengthens your bond.
6. Encourage Two-Way Communication: Respond to your baby's sounds, words, and gestures. Imitate their coos and smiles to promote interaction.
7. Make Eye Contact: Your baby's eyes can focus on objects 8-15 inches away, just enough to see your face. Eye contact is crucial as your baby learns to use their eyes together.
Remember, communication is playtime! Use these tips to make learning fun and interactive for your baby.
