Don’t be afraid to babble.  When your child starts to make noises, treat it like a real conversation and mimic the sounds right back.  See how many times you can go back and forth!

Brainy Background powered by Mind in the Making: All kinds of “conversations” help to build babies’ brains – even when they’re still learning how to talk.  By following your child’s lead and responding, you’re sparking the connections he/she needs for language and communication later on.
