Did you know?
- Language development begins in the womb. Infants less than an hour old can tell the difference between the language of their parents and a foreign language.
- Children are born wanting to talk and communicate with the adults in their lives—that's you!
- The first year of life is critically important for language development, even though many babies do not say any words during this period.
- How, and how much, you talk to your children from birth to age three has a huge influence on their language skills in school.
- Babies can communicate many of their needs and wants before they start talking, and how you respond can help them learn the words and phrases they will use later.
