Encouraging Language Development in Infants

Parents are discussing the best way to respond to their chatty five-month-old baby's sounds and noises. While the mother imitates the baby's sounds to connect and encourage, the father responds with words, believing it fosters language development. The father's approach focuses on acknowledging the baby's attempts at communication and treating her as a person learning to express herself. By engaging respectfully and using language during interactions, parents can positively influence their child's language comprehension and development.
