We were just talking to our baby.
We had no idea we were doing
what speech therapists charge
thousands of rupees to teach. π
This was April 2, 2023.
Veeksh*tha was 7 months old.
We were in a moving car.
She made a sound.
Her Amma repeated it exactly.
She made another.
Her Amma repeated that too.
Back and forth.
Again and again.
We thought we were
just being parents.
Turns out β
that IS speech therapy.
It's called Serve & Return.
And here's all it takes:
Baby makes ANY sound β
You repeat it EXACTLY β
Baby responds β
You repeat again β
Repeat. Forever.
No toy.
No app.
No βΉ2,000 session.
Every sound you return
builds one more neural connection
in their language brain.
We did this every day.
In Telugu first.
In Hindi sometimes.
In the car, the kitchen,
at 2 AM β always.
Veeksh*tha is almost 4 now.
She speaks Telugu, Hindi and English.
Tamil is coming β we just
moved back to Chennai. π
And we believe every word
she has ever spoken
started in that car β
with those 7-month-old sounds
that meant everything to us. π
If you have a baby at home β
try this today.
In whatever language
lives in your heart.
Telugu. Tamil. Hindi. English.
Any language.
Every language.
It works in all of them. π
