Babies are more aware than we think. 🐣 Even in the first months of life, infants pick up on emotional cues like tone of voice, facial expressions, and caregiver responses. Supporting caregivers = supporting babies 🤍 #InfantCognition #InfantDevelopment #ICL #ParentingScience #EarlyDevelopment

Have you ever heard someone say that learning two languages at once will confuse a child? Research from the HELLO Lab at the University of Connecticut suggests that this common myth isn’t supported by science. (1/4)

Cartoon spring scene with smiling sun in left corner, bumblebee in right corner and multicolor flowers on bottom. Text says "Is learning two languages better or worse than one?" and there is an icon of a book with the a capital and lowercase "A" above it.

Same spring background as previous slide with new text saying: "Key Points: Multilingualism may lead to sharper attention skills, memory skills, and more flexible problem solving abilities. Being bilingual does not cause language disorders. Young kids are sponges when it comes to language!"
