"Let your child know and see that you think he or she is wonderful. Say it often! Show it often! Because when you do, you’re helping your child grow with communication."

By taking the time and effort to help children develop a love of life and strong sense of understanding, you give them greatest gift – you give them a head start on life.
By watching for signs of difficulty in hearing or speech and by actively involving yourself in teaching and showing your child ways to communicate through words, actions and play, you are providing a healthy, happy childhood that forms the foundation of a healthy, happy adulthood.
Many of the activities we’ve presented here for different age ranges will continue to entertain your child long past the time-frame suggested. Visits to the zoo and outings of any sort will always be lifelong pleasures as long as you and your child enjoy each others company.
Always remember: it is impossible to spoil a child with honest expressions of affection and praise.

 

Congratulations and good luck!
