Prolonged pacifier use might be linked to smaller vocabulary sizes in infants, according to a recent study. But more research is needed.

This study examined the role of physical proximity in language exchanges between 100 mothers and their 13- to 23-month-old infants. It found mothers "produced more words and a greater variety of words when within arm’s reach than out of arm’s reach." Infants also "produced more utterances that contained words" when within arm’s reach. But, we already know this. We know the power of snuggling and reading together. We know the power of giggles at the dinner table and singing together in the car. Big or small, these everyday moments have the potential to positively affect the development of a child’s brain, and as a result, impact their health and happiness. https://lnkd.in/g3z3_Ypz

I work with thoughtful parents who want gentle parenting to work but struggle putting theory into practice, helping them build a rock-solid relationship with their child that will last the rest of their lives.
I've heard so many folks say that babies are boring...but this is absolutely fascinating! I love seeing deeper research into how babies learn language, and how early those tiny minds really start to make sense of the world. I recall my own babies signing from around 7 months for basics like "milk," and saw in my early intervention practice how helpful multi-modal approaches to communication were for infants with identified challenges. I'm particularly interested in the mention of further studies of how blind babies acquire language. Our babies' brains are amazing! https://lnkd.in/gdC7ZpES

Even though this information is just coming out, many of us have known this for years - early screen exposure is detrimental to normal childhood development. Part of me is happy that these studies are taking place and the information is being disseminated, while the other part is overwhelmed with the tragedy of all this. Unregulated technology has completely derailed normal, healthy, happy childhood development. Please join Nicole Runyon on Fridays at noon on our Linked Live, where we discuss these issues and offer viable, realistic, and easily implementable solutions. Protect your children at all costs, their wellbeing and mental health is now in your hands, keep tech away from them. “Those findings, published on Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, make up one of the first sets of longitudinal evidence to confirm an intuitive reality: Screens are not just linked to higher rates of obesity, depression, and hyperactivity among children; they also curb face-to-face interactions at home — with long-term implications that could be worrisome.” #digitalwellness #childdevelopment
There are more and more studies that show every minute an infant and toddler are on a screen can impact their development. Specifically, this article highlights the implications of screen-time on the crucial component of language development.

Speaking to babies in ‘sing-song’ speech - such as nursery rhymes - is the best way for them to learn how to talk, according to a new study. Linguists have long considered phonetics - the smallest sound elements of speech, typically represented by the alphabet – to be the foundation of language. However, new research by the University of Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin has found that babies do not process phonetic information until they are around seven months old, and still struggle to do so at around 11 months old – when they tend to say their first words.

Language acquisition is one of the topics I always use to explain why linguistics is so cool to non-linguists! It feels accessible in a way that drawing syntax trees doesn't (that never stops me, though 😅), and it just still feels like one of those deep and cool mysteries that we're slowly, but surely, chipping away at, as shown by this really interesting study below ✨👶🏾✨ Would love to hear what other topics/examples people use to connect with non-linguists!!
🎵 Parents should speak to their babies using sing-song speech, like nursery rhymes, as soon as possible, say Professors Giovanni Di Liberto and Usha Goswami. 👶 Phonetic information – the smallest sound elements of speech – has long been thought to be the basis of language learning in babies. 🍼 But a new study found that babies don’t begin to process phonetic information reliably until seven months old – which researchers say is too late to form the foundation of language. 🥁 Instead, babies learn from rhythmic information – the changing emphasis of syllables in speech – which unlike phonetic information, can be heard in the womb.
