Time: Wednesday, December 11th, 2013, 6 – 7 pm
Location: The Birth Centre, 603 St. Mary’s Road
- Do you wonder whether your baby understands you when you talk?
- Do you worry about whether your baby is meeting language milestones?
- Are you curious about what to expect as your child learns to speak?
- Have you wondered why we speak in a funny voice when we talk to babies and young children?
