Talk To Your Baby

Talk To Your Baby

Communication is a way of expressing one's feelings. Babies can not talk but they love to listen. Talking to the baby develops his intellectual skills and grasping powers. The baby loves the attention, he gets when you talk with him. This also helps in language development.

Most parents, when communicating with their babies, indulge in what is known as baby talk. They go goo-goo gaga and cootchie wootchie all the time, and then wonder why their daughter still finds it difficult to speak a full sentence when Rani and Deepak's son can recite the entire Baa Baa Black Sheep without a pause.

Talk

So how do you teach your children to get an early grasp of the language? It's simple. TALK to them. Talk to them as much as possible, and at every opportunity you get. Find any excuse to talk. If you are feeding your little one, keep describing and explaining what you are doing. Say things like "Now I'm going to pick up the spoon, fill it up with this yummy potato and put it in your mouth! There. wasn't that delicious? Isn't mommy a good cook?" Go on talking and chattering with your child. This is a surefire way to enhance and motivate your child's language development. Babies learn to talk by listening and responding to the sounds around them.

Sing

In addition to talking, teach your child nursery rhymes and songs. Sing to your children as much as possible, to enhance their awareness of the cadences and rhythmical patterns of the language. Read poetry to them and teach them action rhymes (where you move your hands according to the words of the poem).

Attention

Children hate to be ignored. They love it when you are speaking to them, especially if you are looking directly at them, even if they don't understand what you are saying. The fact that you are focusing your entire attention on them is sufficient.

Read Aloud

Read to your baby everyday. Make this a routine. This will expose your child to the wonderful world of books, and instill the healthy habit of reading from a young age. Show the book to your baby, let her turn the pages for you and admire the pictures.

In Conclusion

Remember, the more you speak to your children, the higher will be their intellectual development. Studies have shown a strong connection between the amount a parent speaks with their children and ultimate grasping power. So go ahead and start chatting!

We believe that children have an unlimited potential for learning and that parents have an unequalled opportunity to help them realize that potential by exposing them to an enriched environment during the critical early of life } You have the opportunity to shape your toddler’s brain and influence her ability to learn throughout her lifetime

Dear Parents,

We believe that children have an unlimited potential for learning and that parents have an unequalled opportunity to help them realize that potential by exposing them to an enriched environment during the critical early of life

} You have the opportunity to shape your toddler’s brain and influence her ability to learn throughout her lifetime

} This opportunity has only recently been recognize

} Recent technological advance, such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resolution Imaging (MRI) scan , have given us evidence of the way a child’s brain is organized and how it grows

} Parents are a young child’s most influential teachers

} What you teach will profoundly influence your child’s entire life

} This can seem like a daunting responsibility, but it’s also an unbelievable opportunity

Revolutionary educational packages for kids 1 to 10 years

} Develop their vocabulary and language skills to extra-ordinary level by the time they are ready to go to bigger school/classes

} Give them extensive knowledge by just using their curiosity in a fun-way method.

} Develop their IQ, concentration level, logical thinking, perception and analytical skills from the beginning.

} Improve their academic performance and above all

} Give them PASSION FOR BOOKS as life time gift (Leaders are Readers)

Do you know….?

} Language development and communication are important factors in children even as early as two or three months

} 50% of a child’s adult intelligence develops in first 4 years

} Everything the child is exposed to and absorbs between 2 and 4 years of age, leaves an indelible mark on his personality

} So stimulate your child intellectually
