After watching the video, did any new information stand out to you about growing your baby’s listening skills?

Great takeaway!

If your baby has hearing loss, you'll need to put extra focus on building and growing their listening skills. They can become a strong listener with your help and purposeful efforts!

This is a great insight!

Listening and learning starts on day one! So, each day with your baby is a brain building day where you can help support their listening and spoken language development.

Great takeaway!

These early listening experiences are the building blocks for their future language skills. As you practice this strategy with your little learner, you’re helping them to develop their language skills that they’ll carry with them into their bright future!

Remember!

When you use the Hear It Before They See It strategy, you're developing your child's auditory attention, enhancing their listening skills, and supporting their knowledge of language!

Congratulations!
