How Do Infants Learn?


CONNECTED KIDS: You are your baby's first teacher, and the growth of your baby's brain is greatly affected by the care and experiences you provide. Reading to your infant can help them develop early verbal skills. Taking time to talk, sing, or laugh with your baby will teach them about communication. You will never spoil your child by showing them lots of love and holding them often, it will only allow them to feel more secure and confident.
