The Basics
The first 3 years of your child’s life are the most important for learning to talk. Watch for signs that your child is learning to talk on schedule.
How do children learn to talk?
Children learn to talk by watching, listening, and responding to people around them.
In the first few months, your baby listens to your voice and tries to make the same sounds you do. When you respond to your baby’s sounds, you encourage your child to “talk” more. As your child grows older, he will learn more and more words.
