How often do you talk to your baby?

ZERO TO THREE

Neural Nugget: Babies who are talked to frequently know about 300 more words by age 2 than babies who hear fewer words, giving them a stronger foundation for language and learning.

One of the best ways to support healthy brain development is through serve-and-return interactions: the back-and-forth of talking, playing, making faces, and responding to your baby's sounds and cues. These everyday moments help build the brain, one interaction at a time.

Curious about what's happening inside your baby's brain? Explore our Baby Brain Map, an interactive guide that makes the science of early brain development easy to understand and put into practice: https://bit.ly/4w3j4jg

All behavior is communication.

Have you ever thought about asking yourself 'what is my child trying to express to me' when they do ______ or act like ______? Check out this YouTube video we found and challenge yourself to get curious the next time you have an interaction with your child.

Children communicate their internal world through their behaviors.
