Infants learn language from the very beginning. They pay attention to sounds and expressions as their caregivers interact with them.
To help parents and caregivers support healthy brain development in young children, the early learning organization, The Basics, Boston, offers a series of videos that highlight strategies to promote learning and growth.
Talk, Sing, and Point is a video in the series that highlights early language development and reminds care providers of the importance of eye contact, back-and-forth conversations, singing, and more! Every time we talk, sing, or point to items and talk about them with young children, we are building meaningful relationships and helping little ones learn about the world.
