Why is it important that I talk with my child?

Most children love to talk. They want to talk about their day or a friend or what they did over the weekend. All this talk is very important—so is listening!

Research shows that having regular conversations with children makes them better thinkers, better readers and better communicators. When you talk to your child, you are helping him or her learn new words and how language works.

It doesn't matter what you talk about or where or when you talk about it:

• Talk while you play, do your own everyday activities, traveling from place to place and during meals
• Listen to what your child has to say—don't interrupt, even if it takes a while for him or her to get to the point!
• Ask questions

Most important—have fun talking and listening. It's a simple way to help your child learn to think and communicate.
