When we respond to their cries, our babies learn that they will be listened to and that the world is a safe place where their needs will be met. They coo, look at you and wait. You coo and they coo back. In that simple interaction, they practice the structure of conversation and they learn that they will be responded to when they reach out to communicate. Talk naturally with your baby throughout your time with her.
Babies learn receptive language skills long before they learn expressive ones.
Your daughter will understand what you are saying to her well before she is able to speak many words. When babies grow up in a language- rich environment, they naturally learn to speak. When you regularly talk to your daughter and listen to her, she will readily learn language. Modeling language is your best teaching tool. When you model correct language, they will gradually learn proper grammar.
