On a Walk Talking Tips
Whether you’re in your neighborhood or out in about in the city, walks can be both stimulating and scary for babies. Describing your surroundings helps your baby process what’s going on around you and gives them words to describe their feelings.
Conversation starters from Talk With Me Baby
- “The city is noisy, isn’t it? Do you feel safe? I’m here, you’re safe, we’re just hearing the sounds of our city. Let’s keep walking together, okay?”
- “Look at all the mailboxes! This is our mailbox. Let’s see if we have any mail today. Ooh, we do! Would you like to hold a piece of mail? Thank you for helping me carry in the mail!”

Talking Tips are provided by Talk With Me Baby, an Atlanta organization working to bring the concept of language nutrition into public awareness and educate caregivers on the importance of talking with their baby every day, in an effort to close the word gap.
