In this training from The Growing Brain series, participants will look at how adults play a critical role in early communication through back and forth interactions. We will explore at how communication begins with observation and how children build on language to develop more complex communication, including dual and multilingual learning. We will finish the training by considering how books and stories are crucial aids in enhancing children’s growing communication skills.
