Why You Should Watch

Your baby is practicing their conversational skills long before they say their first word and you can help them every step of the way. Get a baby’s perspective on how they explore sounds, why imitation is the sincerest form of linguistic baby flattery, and how they master their native language (or languages). You'll also discover your role in the process - and it's an important one. Our handy ideas for encouraging your budding conversationalist will help you to create a language-rich universe for your child that encourages their language development for life.

What you'll see from a baby's eye view:

  • What conversation looks like when you're four months old
  • How communication helps you bond with your baby
  • Why repetition is key to learning language
  • How your baby's ability to grasp different sounds – or phonemes -  changes as they grow
  • How your baby is developing a sense of self

What you'll discover:

  • How and why to take turns speaking when babbling with your babe
  • How make believe play stimulates your child's language learning ability
  • Why baby talk has its place in your baby's life at this stage
  • How your child's language development helps you bond with your baby
  • How each child develops at their own pace

Babies strive to learn how to communicate with the people in their world. A window into that process offers fascinating insights into a child's language development and all the little pieces that need to be in place for them to go from  cooing to goo-gooing and beyond.
