2.067 LANGUAGE: Make Meaning: Imitate your child’s sounds

Your child will do lots of babbling at this level, experimenting with many different sounds. They learn to control their voice and mouth movements.

If your child does not babble much, have their hearing checked.

Today’s activity: When face-to-face with your child, repeat back the sound your child just made. This is the first step in learning how to imitate.
