Yes, I think the distinction that should be made with Parentese is that what IS bad for your child's development is to use 'baby talk' where you intentionally say things incorrectly 'baby see apple!' 'baby want more?' instead of saying things like 'Baby sees an apple!' or 'Do you want more?'. But what is GOOD for your baby's development is when you say correct things but with a playful, dramatic, high-pitched voice.
Thank you so much for highlighting the difference between "parentese" and purposefully grammatically incorrect "baby talk"! Yes, there's a big difference!
Tq so much ka yee for sharing all the tips.. Currently I'm: 1.reading English books with my 3 -year-old daughter every day 2.sing simple English nursery rhymes repeatedly every day 3.let her watch lucas and friends using google tv for about 20 min daily 4.converse more with her in English.. Prompt and praise her I will carry on to talk to her more.. And see her progress after 3 months
@Mac_an_Mheiriceanaigh You're most welcome! ❤️ You're one of my most valued subscribers and I'm so happy to be able to make this video for you and other new parents out there!
Ka Yee, I know so well from you, Adam, other influencers, other authors, etc., that I should start reading to my baby. But for some reason I still haven't been except for a few times! I think it's because we have had family members helping us constantly and I feel self-conscious dramatically reading in front of them. It feels especially embarrassing to read in front of people who can't understand my language. It's annoying because I read/heard about these difficulties before and was so resolved not to be affected by them!
Hi Mac! I hope you and your daughter are doing well ❤️ Oh yes, I can totally see how you might feel self-conscious using your "dramatic" voice reading to your baby in front of them 😂 Especially if they don't understand your language! I'd say do what feels comfortable to you... Maybe reserve the dramatic reading at bedtime when you're alone with your baby? x
Thank you for your video! Its so curious how RUclips works, my baby is 1 week old today, my native language is Russian and my husband's is American English. We currently live in Vietnam, but are considering moving to China, so her language mix might be the same as your kids'!
Hi @Sashoku, That's amazing!! I'm so glad you discovered this channel - the RUclips algorithm can work wonders sometimes haha! Good luck raising your baby to be multilingual!
Hi @Hana-ld7dw, thanks for your comment! Can you be a bit more specific about your situation? Are you a native speaker of both languages a and b? Are languages a and b the community language? A bit more context would help me give you more specific advice :)
@themultilingualfamilyhub i am native speaker in Vietnamese, i speak german as a second language. We are living in germanym my baby is 1 year old. Thanks a lot for your advice
@@Hana-ld7dw Hi Hana, thanks for your reply! Just to clarify - you'd like to raise your baby to be bilingual in Vietnamese and German, is that right? Maybe you and your partner/ husband can use One Parent One Language? (You speak to the baby in Vietnamese, and the father to speak to the baby in German?)
Which of these tips are you going to try with YOUR baby? Share in the comments below!
