Why You Should Watch

When your baby begins to babble – about half way through their first year – it signals a shift in their brain functioning where their social needs start overtaking their biological needs. Get a baby’s eye view of what they understand – it's a lot more than you might think - and how their verbal and non-verbal communication skills are developing in tandem. Understand why an environment rich in the spoken word has a positive effect on your baby's language development and find out how to make communication with your baby easier for both of you!

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

  • Why your baby's fooling around with the sounds they're making
  • When baby talk becomes passé
  • How you can invest your baby with a lifelong love of language
  • How to give your baby a sense of control over a pretty uncontrollable life
  • Why your slow, deliberate movements lead your baby in the right direction

What you'll discover:

  • Why it's important to be consistent when naming the people in your baby's life
  • How to help your child read your body language
  • How each baby moves from milestone to milestone at their own unique pace
  • Why it's important to read with your child
  • How to promote your child's problem solving and decision making skills
  • How to model non-verbal communication for your child

Language has power, and it's fascinating to watch your baby discover how they can make themselves heard, and how you can help them each step of the way as they grow and develop mentally, emotionally and intellectually.
