Teach Baby to Talk with the Right Stroller?
It may be just a bit far-fetched but its true, the kind of stroller or push chair you get can affect the rate at which your child’s speech builds up. If feasible, when you contemplate what variety of stroller or push chair to invest in opt for one where the baby is facing you, or that is reversible.
Reversible strollers and push chairs can have the baby either facing you or facing forwards. The younger the baby, the more vital it is that they can see the face of the parent or carer when out in the stroller for any length of time . When the baby is facing you, you can speak to your baby about their surroundings. You can also take note of what is ahead of you before baby does and you are able to make little stops to talk about intriguing objects.
Young babies and toddlers need to be able to see you, to feel safe. It’s not uncommon to see a baby or toddler, often aged two years or more, sitting in a forward facing stroller, with a pacifier or soother, in his or her mouth. Presumably this is to keep the child quiet because they cry and fret and commonly don’t feel happy or secure in their stroller, or, possibly they are simply feeling bored with no-one to talk to and they quite naturally fuss about that.
Consider all the opportunities those babies pass up for talking with the parent about their surroundings. Think of all the conversation they miss and having the world explained to them. Of course, wise parents appreciate that the more often you talk to a baby the more the baby learns. So by having baby facing you in the stroller, you can help baby to talk.
When facing the parent or carer and being spoken to for the duration of a trip in the stroller, the baby will be more engaged, interested and focused on objects or events in the environment . Almost everything in the outdoors that we take for granted is new to a baby and sometimes frightening. There is so much occurring in the world outside the home, that the child needs the parent to focus on specific things, explain them, talk about them.
This is how an infant or toddler’s vocabulary grows. Each and every new word learned and every new experience grows your baby’s brain. Use every single possibility during a trip with baby in the stroller to add to his or her word-bank and explain the world to your baby. So if possible opt for a backward facing stroller and help baby talk.
