Babies need love!

Babies need many things when they are little. You worry about all of them when you hold that tiny infant in your arms for the first time. How am I going to feed and clothe and teach this little helpless human being? There are many things you can do to prepare your house, you get plastic covers for the electrical sockets and you latch the cupboards shut. You paint the bedroom a nice, happy, soothing color. And you carefully choose, decorations and bedding. But there is one thing no parent should forget.

From the day you bring your baby home from the hospital every sound, and expression you make is sucked up into their hungry little brains. They see what you do, they learn to smile and laugh from your smile and laugh. They learn to speak because you never cease to chatter at them. One of the most priceless experiences you can share with your little one, is that of reading. A lot of young parents don't understand why to read to their infants. Obviously they can't understand what you are saying, and they don't recognize anything you show them on a page, many times children will ask for the same book over and over.

You will never be able to guess how much they are actually retaining, and how profound those hours of attention and reading can be for your baby. Not only does it form a bond, and special relationship upon which a value could never be placed. Reading to your baby teaches them about communication, how sentences work, how sounds form to make words. They learn concepts like numbers, colors, letters, shapes, in a stimulating and fun way. Vocabulary skills are built, including memory practice and listening skills. And reading provides invaluable information for the baby about the world around them, increasing recognition of words and things.

By the time babies reach their first birthday, their brains and bodies have learned all the sounds they will need to communicate in their native language. The more that you speak to them and read aloud the more words your child will have at their disposal, the more capable they will be of communicating and the more successful they will be as they learn to talk and later as they start academically in the world. There is no substitute for spending time with your child, and holding them close as you read to them or play with them, starting young gives you a head start on one of your most precious lifetime relationships.
