Tip of the month: explore the world through your child’s senses

Did you know that every day your child’s senses are helping them learn and grow? From the squishy softness of playdough to the fresh smell of rain, sensory experiences shape their world and build their language skills.

Next time you’re outside, ask your little one, “Can you hear the birds chirping?” or “How does this flower smell?” Or when you run a bubble bath talk about the textures, smells, and colors.

These simple moments make a big impact on developing your child’s word bank. No two babies are identical, so no matter what senses your child has access to, encourage them to make the most of them with fun brain-building experiences and play.
