The First Conversations You’ll Ever Have
Your baby understands you long before they speak.
Before they can say a single word, your baby is already talking — with sounds, gestures, and eyes.
They recognize tone, rhythm, and facial expressions long before they understand meaning.
Every “coo”, every look, every tiny hand reaching out is their way of saying: I want to connect.
And when you respond — with a smile, a gentle word, a nod — you’re teaching the foundations of language.
Psychologists call this serve and return interaction.
Each time you respond, your baby’s brain builds new pathways for communication, trust, and learning.
Even in pregnancy, your voice prepares their brain for this rhythm of connection.
Every “hello” you whisper now is a conversation in the making.
