2100 words per hour? That's right. 2100 words per HOUR, not per day, is how many words you should aim to say when talking to your baby as described by on page 267 of the "Practical Tips" from Dr. John Medina, author of Brain Rules for Baby on the Early Childhood Colorado website. Describe everything you see "Talk to your baby a lot. This is as simple as saying, “It’s a beautiful day” when you look outside and see the sun. Just talk. During infancy, do so in “parentese,” those clusters of exaggerated vowel sounds at high frequencies. A rate of 2,100 words per hour is the gold standard." |
