Språk og samspill – svangerskap til nyfødt // Language and interaction – pregnancy to newborn
Did you know?
Talking to children a lot stimulates their language development.
Language of the heart
For many people, the language of the heart is the language that people can use to express their feelings most easily, and the language they dream in. The language of the heart is often also the language they feel most comfortable with.
Use the language that is most natural for you when talking to your baby.

In the womb
Talk or sing to your baby while it is in the womb. The baby will recognize your voice.
Speak the language of your heart with your baby.
Sing – your baby loves to hear you sing.

Newborn
Your baby communicates with you even if it doesn’t have a language
Your baby cries, makes noises, squirms, and makes faces.
Your baby likes it when you respond and make sounds back. Most of all, your baby likes it when you speak in a soft voice.

Sing to your baby
Sing in the language of your heart. Use songs from your own childhood.

Your baby is very interested in you
Your baby watches you, imitates you and learns from you.
Talk a lot with your baby about what you do together, for example at the changing table, when you’re out on a walk or when you’re cooking.
