Why You Should Watch

When you move slowly and exaggerate your motions it helps your baby tune into your non-verbal cues and develop their own. Get a baby's eye view on how showing and telling helps your baby understand what you're trying to say and gather some handy ideas for making communication with your child more clear and less frustrating – for both of you!

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

  • Why imitation is still the sincerest form of flattery
  • How your slow, deliberate movements lead your baby in the right direction
  • How your baby learns from you

What you'll discover:

  • How to model non-verbal communication for your child
  • How to draw your child's attention to things they'll like
  • How to help your child read your body language

Now that your baby's knowledge is growing, you can add to their communication repertoire with easy non-verbal cues that help them make sense of their world.
