Babies Talking and Thinking

Babies Talking and Thinking

• Babies begin to learn as soon as their eyes are open. They learn most from home. You are your baby's most important teacher.
• Babies learn by hearing you talk and sing to them. They learn by doing things over and over.
• Babies are talking to you from their first cry. It's important to talk to them. When they gurgle and coo - gurgle and coo back at them and watch them smile!
• When sounds are repeated back to babies it tells them you think what they are saying is important.
• Remember your local library - it will have lots of information - books, tapes and music. There may also be a toy library near you or ask the Coordinator at the Parenting Information Centre.
