Language and Communication

Serve and Return Interaction

• Serve and return is simply to create that back-and-forth interaction with your infant. Let them respond by facial expressions, babbling, moving, or pointing. This should be used throughout childhood to support language and communication skills.

Multilingual / Bilingual Home

• Growing up in a multilingual or bilingual home helps infants develop stronger cognitive skills, such as problem solving and memory retention. It also supports emotional and social development by allowing them to connect with multiple cultures and communicate with a wider range of people. Exposing toddlers early on to more than one language builds a strong foundation for future language learning and academic success.
