There are times when your baby's brain is ready to develop certain skills. Brain connections for seeing and hearing develop early. So it is important to talk, sing and read to your newborn.
There is a window of opportunity for learning to talk between one and two years of age. Start putting the building blocks for language in place even earlier. Talk often to your baby. This will help your baby learn to talk.
If you suspect a delay in your baby, such as difficulty hearing or seeing, talk to your healthcare provider right away. It is important to get help early if it is needed. This will make learning easier later. Make sure your child sees a health care provider at 18 months of age.
