[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby talk. God I hate sing-songy voices. Just talk to your kid like a normal human being. I don't care if you point out the color of produce. Just sound like a normal person doing it.[/quote] Speech Path here. That sing song voice has been shown to attract an infant's attention more than a typical adult tone. In fact, it's naturally used across all languages by the mother. Even deaf mothers use a form of it, they slow their signing down and over emphasize their gestures. There's something instinctual about it. [/quote]
