some ways to help your baby with the learning process
Here are some ways to help your baby with the learning process:
• Look at books and talk about the pictures in simple languages. Where possible try and use books that your baby is able to hold.
• Talk often to your baby using simple words to identify objects in his life. Name trees, numbers, colours, and animals as you take your
baby for a walk. You should also use your baby’s name often – this way she will be able to recognise it.
• Talk back to your child when she talks with you.
• Introduce concepts to your baby, such as the “big” dog or the “little” mouse. • Give your baby time to get his words out; don’t be tempted to complete sentences for him.
• Continue to read to your baby as much as possible. Reading should be part of your daily routine.
• From day one start to talk in a simple, short and uncomplicated way with your baby – even though she will not understand what you are saying this is laying the foundations for learning language.
