What’s that sound?
Learning to talk is an essential part of a child’s development. It’s not just about them being able to put words together with the things they see, but also about making connections with the things they hear.
Here are some tips to help your baby develop their listening skills:
- Next time a sound catches your baby’s attention, point it out and name the thing that makes it in the target language.
- Encourage your baby to listen to different sounds around them, both inside and outside the home. Take them to the garden or the local park and listen to the birds singing, the leaves rustling, and the dogs barking.
- To make things even more fun, try making the sounds of the things you’re listening to. This is sure to bring a smile to your baby’s face and make the experience even more interactive.
Remember, the more you talk and interact with your baby, the more they will learn and grow. So keep talking, pointing, and listening to help your baby develop their language and communication skills.
