Language development in the first years seems to just happen on its own. Or does it really? Will babies just naturally say their first words around 12 months or do parents need to help that happen? It's a great question and one that Lenora Edwards of Better Speech and I discuss on this episode. Lenora gives you great tips on how to support your child's language through exposure to natural conversations and observing others as well as being a part of complex conversations.
Here's the show notes for this episode, where you'll find links to reach Lenora and learn more about language development.
