Cutting out the baby talk may help prepare young kids better for the challenges of school. Adults who treat children ages 3 to 6 as conversation partners may help the kids better learn the language skills they’ll need. Complex conversations may help improve kids’ language skills.
You can help your child by telling them stories, reading books to them and having two-way conversations that allow them to practice speaking. Parents should limit television for young children, since it cuts down on the time for these conversations.
