Communicating kids

This is a huge year for development and your baby will be growing and changing in so many ways. Here are some of the communication skills you can expect to see over the first year.

Children of this age will probably be using facial expressions to communicate how they feel and use eye contact and looking as a way of interacting. Here are some skills you may see over years’ one and two. 

By 2 years old children should be building on their earlier skills of looking, reaching, pointing and using facial expressions; enjoying sharing in interactions with others for longer periods of time. 

By 3 years old we would typically see children showing awareness of and interest in adults and other children.
