Babies start communicating from day one, said First Things First\u2019s Kat Willard in a recent guest spot on The Parenting Brief, a podcast hosted by Strong Families AZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Willard, who is FTF\u2019s senior director for Family Support and Literacy,<\/a> shared that parents are encouraged to have back-and-forth \u201cconversations\u201d that will build their baby\u2019s brain throughout the day, no matter how awkward it feels at first. While babies won\u2019t talk back, of course, they do have their own way of responding.<\/p>\n

\u201cInfants communicate through eye contact, body gestures, and through crying and through babbling as well,\u201d Willard said. She encouraged parents to sing songs, tell stories to spark meaningful communication with their babies, toddlers and preschoolers.<\/p>\n

The monthly podcast provides useful tips and advice for moms of children birth to age 5 and is hosted by Jessica Stewart-Gonzalez, who is the program director for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program at the Arizona Department of Health Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n
