don't you talk back to me, young man

actually, yes, please do  

Moxietot partners with parents to support early language development by sharing research-based tips in the place that makes sense - with the kiddo, where grown-ups can see it! Right now all the innovative child development research is hidden away in academic journals where nobody sees it. That's not cool. But don't worry, we have object permanence and we know right where to get the goods for you!

Early, interactive talk with infants supports brain development in a serious way. When we model sounds and words for baby, we're encouraging first words which is obviously a good thing to do. But all the back-and-forth conversation you have with baby throughout the day does more than this. It builds connections in the brain.  

These connections, well, they're kind of a big deal. They form the foundation for all future learning. Think school readiness, high school completion, job security in adulthood, economic mobility... Basically, it's a good idea to be really responsive and warm and chatty with your baby now so baby isn't living in your basement at 35.
