Thirty Million Words: Building a child’s brain. How parent talk affects children’s cognitive development and how to communicate with children scientifically

Parent talk is more meaningful than expensive early childhood education classes. The gap of 30 million words, which refers to the difference between the number of words children from different backgrounds are exposed to when young, greatly affects children physically and psychologically. Through this book, you will see how important parent talk is. You will also learn “the Three Ts” to communicate with children scientifically: tune in, talk more, and take turns. This is a primer on language education for novice parents.
