3+ | Baby Back and Forth

Instructions

Engage with your little one by imitating the sounds they make. Listen to their coos, and repeat after them or add in a novel sound. Watch your baby’s engagement deepen as you mimic them throughout this activity.

The Science

Language development is a social process. Your little one is not only learning sounds, but also how to engage in back and forth “conversation” with others. Notice how your baby pauses and waits for you to "speak" before they reply.
