When you make connections with your little one by talking, reading, singing and playing—even before they can use words—you’re building a strong brain and helping prepare them for success in school and in life. When babies feel connected and nurtured by those who take care of them, they are confident and curious about the world around them, which allows them to explore and learn more readily. But it may not always be easy to talk with babies, especially when they can’t talk back. To help, we’ve pulled fun tips and resources grounded in the best science, to help you talk, read, sing and play with your child every day.
