Baby talk: 8 easy and fun ways to improve your baby's language skills

29 september 2006 - 13.30u A little princess was born.

This day I became the proud father of Celine,... a day i'll never forget!
In trying to understand what she means when she's smiling/crying/guguing/gagagaing i found this interesting article.

Here are some things you can do to support your child’s language development:
  • 1. Respond to your baby’s cries.
  • 2. Have "conversations" with your baby.
  • 3. Talk naturally with your baby throughout your time with her.
  • 4. Extend her language and describe what you see her doing.
  • 5. Talk to your baby about what you are doing with her.
  • 6. Talk about your own actions as well.
  • 7. Sing songs or tell her stories.
  • 8. Read books.

Enjoy language with your baby. ;-)

I'd recommend the singing.. my baby boy really likes it when I sing to him.
