Playing with the babies, we do a lot of intuition. Do you want to subpoena the scientific base for fun on the floor with toys or a child's loop? Now it is. can be done. With the help of the Science Game book, it describes real experiments (some similar to games) that have revealed where the child is better developed. Like, who's gonna talk faster or move from crawl to walk?

Talk to me (7-11 months)

Experiment. Play with the baby for ten minutes. Behave as usual, but pay attention to how often the baby makes any sound. During the next 10-minute period, keep entertaining, but this time, as soon as your tado says "voice," you must smile, move closer and touch the child. Keep monitoring the frequency of the sound that it makes.

Hypothesis. During the second game, the baby will be " talkative " .

Research results. In 2003, scientists analysed the voice activity of infants who played with their mothers for three consecutive time periods. During the first and third sessions, women spoke with babies in a routine manner, and during the second session they were asked to respond positively to every sound produced by the baby. Scientists found that, in the continuation of the interim period, children were more active, with their brushing approaching the speech: the " nurturing " of babies was louder and consisted of more layers.

The experiment proves that even in the initial stage of the speech, the child responds to the feedback received from the interviewer. Researchers are convinced that changes in the behaviour of children during the second play session are incorrectly linked to the mere expression, as mothers did not respond to the babies by a verbal but by smiles and touches.

This fact makes it possible to wonder whether theories according to which simulation is the primary mechanism for the social development of the child are correct.

Exclusion. If you can't talk to your baby, don't get upset. Who can't be with! Just remember that even a non-verbal answer (e.g. a happy smile or a luxury touch) will help the child make the next step in the speech development.
