The Basics Palmetto

Did you know the sound of your voice is one of your baby's favorite things? Talk, sing & point as you go through your day. You’re helping them learn language, but also helping them feel secure! 💛 https:// thebasicspalmetto.org/the-basics/ talk-sing-and-point #DoTheBasics #TalkSingAndPoint

Happy Mother's Day to the wonderful women out there who are giving (and have given) children a great start in life! We are thankful for you! 🥰

This is why Basic Principle #2 is Talk, Sing, & Point! Listen & respond. Answer questions. Ask them questions. Narrate daily life, even before they can talk. Every word helps your child’s language development & strengthens your relationship! ♥️ #DoTheBasics #TalkSingAndPoint
