Product Description:

The first signs of communication occur when an infant learns that a cry will bring food, comfort, and companion. Newborns recognize important sounds in their environment (the voice of their mother or primary caretaker). Babies at 6 months of age recognize basic sounds of their language. The first 3 years of life is an intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills and they develop best hearing the speech and language of others.
