✨ Before words come… the building blocks of communication! ✨
Did you know that babies and toddlers develop pre-linguistic skills long before they start talking? 👶🗣️
Skills like:
👉 Eye contact
👉 Taking turns in interactions
👉 Imitating sounds, actions, and facial expressions
👉 Using gestures and pointing
👉 Joint attention (sharing focus on the same thing as someone else)
These early milestones lay the foundation for later speech, language, and social development. 💡 When children practice these skills, they’re building strong communication pathways that make words and sentences come more naturally later on.
🌱 The earlier we support these skills, the stronger the foundation for lifelong communication and learning.
If you have questions or want to know how to encourage your child’s pre-linguistic development, reach out—I’d love to help! 💬💙
