Your baby’s brain is developing faster than it ever will throughout life. It is now that they are building the neuro pathways that will help them learn for the rest of their life. The best way to give them a great start is talking to them. And I mean really talking with them not just at them.

Talk about what you’re doing. What you are feeding them, what they’re wearing, and everything. Talk about your feelings and their feelings. Talk about the sky, the grass, and everything in between. Use big words, real words and if you know them even different languages. Baby words are not your friends but synonyms are. Say too and also. Describe everything and all the details. Read to them sing to them and show them the magic of language.
