Dr. Burton L. White in his book, The First Three Years, points to the necessity of talking and reading to babies. Research indicates that the spoken language directed to a child is far more beneficial than mechanical language that comes from a television. Listening to their parent's voice is what babies need. The Parenting Resource Center in the Children's Room of the Greenwood County Library provides a rocking chair, a comfortable sofa for reading to your children, and a play rug for all ages. Books and videos on parenting and prenatal care provide information important to the health of your child.
