CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Speaking directly to the baby with a style of speech known as “parentese”-talking slowly and clearly, often with exaggerated vowels and intonation-appears to improve infant language development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Used in virtually all of the world’s languages, parentese is a speaking style that draws baby’s attention. Parents adopt its simple grammar and words, plus its exaggerated sounds, almost without thinking about it. But if parents knew the way they speak could help baby learn, would they alter their speech?

Detailed explanation-3: -“Parentese” is a particular way of talking to your children, which involves slowing down your speech, speaking in a higher pitch and giving pauses for them to respond. Babies of parents who were coached in parentese started talking sooner and had a wider vocabulary than others.

Detailed explanation-4: -A 2020 study from the University of Washington suggests that parentese is highly effective because the high pitch and slower tempo serve as a “social hook” for a baby’s brain and encourages their response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parentese, also known as infant directed speech or motherese, is a special way of talking that is more interesting to infants and children than listening to regular adult speech. It is universally spoken by most caregivers in every culture, regardless of gender.
