Meeting Others Talking Tips
Meeting other people and seeing new faces for the first time can be exciting and is a good time for you to help your baby process new feelings through language and talking through the situation.
Conversation starters from Talk With Me Baby
- “This is your Aunt Jessica. She came all the way from New York to meet you! Would it be okay if Aunt Jessica held you? I’ll be right here when you’re ready to come back to me. Okay, here we go, Aunt Jess.”
- “The people behind us in line are waving to you. Can you wave back? That’s nice of them to say hello. Hello! It’s okay if you don’t feel comfortable saying hello to them right now.”
