Laundry Day with Grandma
Folding clothes may seem like a mundane task – but narrating laundry day to baby is actually a great brain-boosting opportunity (especially when you make it fun like this grandma)! Talk with your baby every day, about anything and everything, whether it’s describing your shirt-folding technique or the noisy garbage truck outside. It really doesn’t matter what you chat about – and it’s okay if your baby is too young to respond. He or she is listening – and the sound of your voice helps stimulate brain development! Talk. Read. Sing. It changes everything®
