Babies start building language skills at 8 months old.
Teaching babies about language uses the same principles as teaching kids with autism and speech impairments.
In fact, research from the Department of Human Development at Cornell suggests the following tips for parents and their language-learning babies:
* Attach words to objects. Labeling helps babies learn
* Engage your child with what is already the focus of their interest
* Use words to describe your actions
* Use words to describe your child’s actions
* Explore books to describe your child’s actions
* Read to your child!
* Talk to your baby often
* Play word games and explore books
