Everyone loves a mystery, but is it possible that a little video can change the way we think about talking to our kids?
An article in The Atlantic, explains the mysteries of baby’s first words. It might not be so important as to what they are saying but more that babies are learning how to open up communication. The article states,
“Such early utterances have a lot of social work to do—they’re more about enabling an interaction than about referring to something specific. So it seems as if ka (baby sounds) was less an act of naming than the on-switch for a shared experience.”
Whether this tiny tyke says the words or not, is up for debate. But there’s no dispute in how talking and reading to your child, even in the crib, has huge benefits to your little rugrat’s development.
