Tip 40: Bow wow is for going out for a stroll

Whenever the weather is perfect for a stroll outside the house, I will look Haruka into the eye and say "Bow, wow, wow, lets go out Haruka-chan. Yeh!!!". Children aged 3 months onwards are trying to match the sounds and expressions to items. Its good to be constantly talking to the baby as their speech and comprehension of speech would improve. But, it makes a huge difference when you are communicating at a level that the baby can best understand. And the baby will understand when he/she sees a cute dog outside barking and gets happy and excited the next time you bark and tell her its time for her stroll outside.

Children learn the most when their curiosity drives them to find out what the phenomena means. When a dog barks and daddy reminds her of the dog barking, the baby remembers and thats when learning has occured. More learning will then follow, as the baby follows this pattern of capturing memory of what he/she has seen and heard. And the following days will never be the same again as the baby begin to watch interesting events and remembers it. I am beginning to see Haruka getting excited whenever I am uttering the words Bow, wow, wow and changing her clothes. That means she understood me. Thats a communication break through and the baby and daddy both loves this break through. And more such events will happen as daddy tries to communicate with baby by understanding the baby mentality. Meow, meow is for cat. Pung, pung is the sound of the water splash and baby gets excited for her bath time. Yeh! (We are both happy and excited to communicate with each other).
