Review the key points you learned throughout this lesson:

  • In the early years, the more talking and interactions your baby is exposed to, the stronger their brain connections will be.
  • You can build your baby’s brain for listening and talking by using the 3Ts during your interactions – Tune In, Talk More, and Take Turns.
  • Your baby’s brain is wired to learn the sounds, accents, and musical rhythm of the language(s) you speak at home. Be a Drama Mama or Dramatic Daddy to make language learning fun for your baby.
