Young children's brains don't process language as fast as adults do. Talk Tip #7 from @LENAEarlyTalk reminds us to give our little ones a moment to process what they're hearing so they can respond.
Today's featured Talk Tip (from @LENAEarlyTalk) reminds us to get down to our little one's level as we interact with them. Getting down on their physical level -face to face- as you talk helps them connect with you and build communication skills. Give it a try!
We're at it again! We have launched the Summer 2022 LENA Start cohort with 31 amazing families who will learn how to increase early talk with their little ones. Let the fun begin!
It's #ThrowbackThursday and we're thinking about the families that graduated from our Spring 2022 LENA Start program last month. Congrats to these caregivers (& more who are not pictured) for spending 10 weeks investing in increasing interactive conversations with their babies!
Today's Talk Tip from @LENAEarlyTalk reminds us to take a moment to tune in and respond to what our little one is looking at, doing, and saying. It can create an opportunity for back and forth conversation, which helps build their brain. Take some time today to try it out!

Here we go again! We're super excited about the launch of the Spring 2022 LENA Start cohort! Forty-four families have begun a 10-week journey to increase early talk with their babies. Let the fun begin!
Today’s Talking Tip (@LENAEarlyTalk #9) is all about making faces and using gestures when you're talking to your baby. Making facial expressions and gestures helps your little one to learn emotions and nonverbal communication cues! Give it a try!
