🗣️ Baby language development: talking with your child from 0 to 3 years

Language grows through responsive interaction, with broad individual variation.

Milestones and everyday habits

  1. 1. What to prepare

    Talk, sing and read in familiar languages, following the child’s interests and allowing turns.

  2. 2. What to check

    Ask for hearing and developmental assessment if concerned or if skills are lost; do not diagnose from a single milestone or delay referral because a child is multilingual.
