This book explains why early communication with infants and toddlers is so important and how to effectively talk to these young learners in a wide variety of circumstances. Talk to Them Early and Often is a practical guide for early childhood educators, caregivers, and parents who want to harness the power of language during the most important years of brain development—birth to age 3. Early childhood educator and parent coach Cara Tyrrell explains how the way adults speak to young children not only shapes their vocabulary, but also informs their developing identity, confidence, and emotional resilience. Readers will learn how the quality and intention of an adult’s words affects the young, pre-verbal brain, laying the foundation for strong linguistic neural pathways, quality relationships, and independent success in school and life. Part I explores the science of receptive and expressive language development, while Part II delivers 10 linguistic guidelines and 25 intentional language strategies to embed into everyday conversation. This practical resource includes research-backed insights, practical scripts, and vivid classroom and home-based vignettes to help adults transform everyday interactions into opportunities for growth. Book Features: * Provides 10 linguistic guidelines and 25 practical strategies for educators and parents to use in daily interactions. * Includes a downloadable resource guide stocked with printable resources and video examples to support immediate application across home and classroom settings. * Shares “Teacher-to-Parent Toddler Talk Tips” to bridge communication strategies from school to home. * Offers helpful callout sections that compare what we tend to say vs. what we should say—and why it works. * Makes the science of language development actionable with concrete next steps and developmental points to remember at the end of each chapter. * Explores how adults’ words, tone, and body language shape early brain development during the “Invisible Learning Years.”
