talk to your baby a lot - and not with baby talk - look into her/his eyes and talk - talk whenever they are in the same room - talk when you're out shopping - everywhere - sing to the baby- and read to your baby many times through the day - - oh and let the baby (and all through childhood) SEE you and the other parent reading - research show that kids who see their parents making reading an important part of their day become better readers.- I am a teacher and can tell the kids who have been spoken too and read to a lot as preschoolers.

Your baby cannot talk but he or she can certainly understand you. My three children have been brought up in a household where 3 languages are spoken. Today they are at school learning two other languages. It's only fear that makes people hesitate. Communicating to your baby non-stop in as many languages as you want using body language, will stimulate him or her. Only determination, love and patience from your part will prove any success in language or speed from your child.

Be sure not to talk to your baby in baby talk that will only delay language and he/she is not learning anything. If your baby is still having problems talking then attempt sign language. I thought it would be tough but its actually helped out with our son.

Read to them. Read out loud. Read everything except negative influences, keeping a good tone. Talk to them and comment about what you read. Speech is not always about what is said, body language, eye contact, tone, etc so make sure baby can see you.
Newspaper is a good place to start!

Talking to your baby and reading to your baby is the best thing you can do to help develop your baby's language skills.

well if they say a bad word just sternly tell them no not nice but otherwise just talk to him/her in a normal voice (not a baby gibberish talking voice ya know) and they will pick up more than you think you will be surprised at how much they learn from just hearing you talk also could have him/her do baby einstein videos and blues clues, vtech also has age appropriate learning games they can interact with right on your tv.....good luck

I just always talked to my son and made sure he was constantly around people talking I also dictated to him everything that everyone was doing. And would prompt him from birth " say hi to your uncle" He was saying full sentences at 2 years old.

Read to them and talk to them. When you're in the car point out different signs and colors of cars or different types of trucks (firetruck, dump truck, backhoe, etc). Even if you think they are too young to understand. Play music and sing to them. Buy them learning toys (Leap Pad, etc.).

Just talk to your child like you would an adult and they will be talking properly before you know it.
