Always respond to your baby’s vocalisations, facial expressions and gestures.

WHY IT MATTERS

Daily reading or singing to babies are interactions that are closely related to children’s language development.

A randomised trial of a high-quality centre-based early intervention on infants and toddlers in two communities in northern Colombia reported large positive effects on language, cognitive development, and overall development.

Activities including play and positive interactions between baby and adult play an important role in babies’ overall development.
