Because their language is limited, they cry to express feelings and frustrations. Don't encourage great amounts of crying by lavashing attention every time the tears start to flow. But make sure that children are understood and comforted when they cry. As a caregiver, you can help early language growth simply by talking to the infants in your care. Although the infant cannot say the words or comprehend their meanings, she tries to imitate them.
Babies delight in pleasant verbal and physical interactions with parents or caregivers.
Gentle touches, humming, cooing, stroking, tickling or rocking are all ways of communicating with a child that will help her to become aware of language and to begin giving social responses. A child will begin to respond by smiling at caregivers. Talk in a pleasant voice and use simple language and frequent eye contact. Hold and carry infants frequently to provide them with a variety of experiences. Talk to infants before, during and after moving them around.
