A new early learning tip suggests that parents should use "parentese," a higher-pitched, sing-song voice, when speaking to their babies. Research indicates that babies respond positively to this type of communication. The information comes from a post by the Bay Area Discovery Museum, shared by the Stanislaus County Library in Modesto, California. Parents are encouraged to embrace this way of speaking as part of their interactions with their children.
