Infants and toddlers can actually take part in simple back and forth conversations. Building Conversations shows how animated exchanges with verbal and nonverbal children continually enhance their emerging communication and social skills.

<strong>Get adults started now</strong>

Engaging scenes demonstrate how to dialogue with infants and toddlers using words, gestures and facial expressions. Use Building Conversations to model techniques that draw children in and teach them the turn-taking rhythm of conversations.

<strong>Viewers will learn:</strong>

- By listening to and participating in conversations, children learn how we use language to share information, ideas and feelings
- Children need to be involved in conversations long before they have words. Even infants will participate
- We can draw young children into conversations by focusing on their interests and by following their lead
- When we help children learn how to take turns, we give them a key skill needed for successful conversations
