有人講第二種語言嘅時候，唔知BB知唔知道佢係第二種語言呢？BB知唔知道嗰種語言都可以溝通嘅呢？

Infants recognize foreign languages as a form of communication Infants recognize that speech in a language not their own is used for communication, finds a new psychology study. The results offer new insights into how language is processed at a young age.

babies, you rock!

How babies learn – and why robots can’t compete The long read: If we could understand how the infant mind develops, it might help every child reach their full potential. But seeing them as learning machines is not the answer

BB太早就開始花時間係螢光幕上面, 當然唔係咁好, 因為可能會影嚮到BB嘅心智發展, 例如控制情緒嘅能力.
但係係咪所有嘅螢光幕產品都一樣嘅呢？
幾時同幾多先好啲呢?
比大家參考下.

Toddler Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much? How early should I allow my kids to have screen time? How much toddler screen time should I allow? We talked to the experts to find out what kind of screen time is best for toddlers, and how much you should limit it.

研究發現爸媽留心聽寶寶牙牙學語會令到寶寶知道佢哋係有溝通能力，從而令到寶寶學習發音同語言更加快。😀

Parents, listen next time your baby babbles Parents who try to understand their baby's babbling let their infants know they can communicate, which leads to children forming complex sounds and using language more quickly. The study's results showed infants whose mothers attended more closely to their babbling vocalized more complex sounds and…

Quality of Words, Not Quantity, Is Crucial to Language Skills, Study Finds A new study found that the caliber of the words spoken to young children was more valuable than the number of words heard in the development of a child’s language skills.

寶寶模仿語音嘅同時亦都係幫助緊自己聽其他人講嘢😀

Babies Use Their Tongues to Understand Speech A new study found that when infants can’t move their mouths to mimic sounds, they have a harder time processing them.

想知寶寶最先會學識咩詞語？一般就係佢經常見到嘅嘢

To predict baby's first words, look at what they see - Futurity Babies in a recent study wore head-mounted cameras at mealtimes. What they saw "tipped the scales" toward certain first words, say researchers.

要培育一個可以好地道咁講到兩個語言嘅寶寶係好唔容易嘅事。😃文章建議咗一啲方法同要留意嘅事項。（內有中文版本）
