First 5 Forever Tip: Talk with your child everyday

Talking with your 0-5 year old is a wonderful way to boost your child's language and communication skills, and it can be as easy about chatting about everyday tasks or the things you see around you at home or out and about. It's never too early to start and every little bit counts!
