How to promote communication with your baby?
You need to take the necessary time to watch, listen to and understand your baby.
His behaviour is the exact reflection of what he feels inside. His reactions will guide how you respond.
Accept him as he is, even if he is not always as you would like him to be. He needs to feel understood and not feel rejected, to benefit from your contact and be able to gradually change in the interaction.
“Genuinely” talking to him means not lying to him and speaking to him normally without using "baby" language.
If you lack conviction, he will not be taken in. Baby can feel if you are there for him, he needs to be able to count on you. He understands from the tone of your voice whether your intentions are good or bad well before understanding the precise meaning of the words.
Show a positive attitude because to “grow” and “become” your baby needs his father and mother to be impressed by his progress, no matter how minor.
Encourage him in order to build his self-confidence, applaud him at every stage of his development, be it for his smile, or when he begins to play, to walk, to point at something with his finger and so on.
Pay particular attention to what he achieves so that he can forget and get over any clumsiness or difficulties in other areas.
