'Parentese' is the best way to talk to your baby to encourage language development, according to a new study.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 5, 2020 -- Teaching parents how to talk to their babies could help boost their children's language development, researchers say.
Instead, the researchers focused on what's called parentese. This is proper speech with elongated vowels and exaggerated tones of voice that attract babies' attention and encourage them to respond. The study found that parents who were given individual coaching used parentese more often than parents who were not coached. Coaching led to more parent-child"conversations" and increased the child's language skills months later.brain -- its high pitch and slower tempo are socially engaging and invite the baby to respond," Kuhl explained.
At 18 months, parent surveys estimated that the children's vocabulary averaged around 100 words among kids of coached families, compared to 60 words among children with no parent coaching.
