Family Visits
When babies see and hear different people, they can learn how to interact with others and develop their communication skills. This is particularly helpful for children who are learning a new language, as it provides a natural and interactive language-learning environment.
Here are some helpful tips:
- When babies connect with relatives who speak the target language, they become more familiar with the sounds and rhythms of that language.
- This can help them develop their language skills faster and more naturally.
- Schedule regular visits with extended family who speak the target language.
- Encourage family members to make eye contact and introduce themselves.
By providing babies with exposure to new faces and voices, parents and carers can play an active role in their children’s social and language development.
