Reading the Child's Message takes a closer look at messages babies and toddlers are sending from birth. Help your viewers learn to attend to typical sounds, facial expressions and gestures that adults can easily overlook or misinterpret.

<strong>Point out subtle cues</strong>

Reading the Child's Message points out how stress, delays or special needs can make a child's communication messages harder to read, and how persistence pays off. The video shows many examples of nonverbal communication, subtle cues and mixed messages.

<strong>Viewers will learn:</strong>
- Infants and toddlers use sounds, facial expressions and gestures to try to communicate
- Some typical messages children send are subtle and easy to overlook
- When children are experiencing stress, delays or special needs, their messages may be hard to read
- It's common to misinterpret a child's communication attempts when accompanying behaviors seem inappropriate or inconsistent
- Building a strong communication link with a child is a trial and error process; adults can begin by tuning in and trying to respond to the child's message
