Baby Gestures Could Help Speaking
Expressive Babies Talk More?
Small children at around 14 months use a lot of gestures to communicate their wants and needs to the world. From a head shake towards much disliked foods to reaching out when they want a cuddle. These basic building block to communication could also let you in on how much you child may be talking at 3.
Studies on baby communication originally out of the University of Chicago may have found a link to how much your child might be talking when they’re a bit older. The study shows that kids who used a lot of gestures to communicate at 14 months, tend to be more talkative and have a bt higher vocabulary at 3 years that they’re quieter peers.
There does seem to be a link to children who are more expressive talking sooner.
Pointing, waving bye-bye and other natural gestures seem to boost a budding vocabulary.
