Pediatricians and other professionals emphasize the importance of talking and communicating with your baby and the amazing benefits that result from these interactions, including brain development, social skills, and improved cognitive development. However, what is often lacking is actually instructing parents how to do it and explaining to them why it is so important.

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of my baby massage courses is showing parents how to read their baby's cues and get an understanding of their non-verbal communication and in this week's episode, I'm explaining why talking, communication and touch are so important and valuable for both you and your baby.

During this episode, you'll hear me talk about:-

• How you can encourage your child towards developing literacy and communication as soon as they are born.
• Why baby babbling is the key to early speech skills and how you can help encourage it more.
• Why you should avoid using baby talk and communicate with your baby in a similar way to how you do with other adults and friends,

And much more...
