Comment faire cette activité
During diaper changes, describe what you're doing in a calm voice. When your child makes sounds, pause and respond as if having a conversation. Wait for their coos or gurgles, then reply with words or gentle sounds. This back-and-forth exchange happens naturally during routine care.
Pourquoi ça marche
Your child is learning the basic rhythm of conversation through these exchanges. Research shows that quality of parent-child interactions, especially conversational duets with shared attention during routines, predicts later language ability more than the quantity of words spoken (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015). These early turn-taking experiences build the foundation for effective communication throughout life.
Conseils pour les parents
Make eye contact while you talk. Your child learns communication from watching your face and hearing your voice.
Wait a few seconds after your child makes a sound. This gives them space to participate in the conversation.
Keep your tone warm and calm. The emotional quality of your voice matters more than the words you use.
