 Communication with babies and children: why it’s important

From birth, warm, gentle and responsive communication helps babies and children feel safe and secure in their worlds. It also builds and strengthens relationships between children and their parents or carers.

To grow and develop skills, children need safety, security and strong relationships, so communicating well with children is essential to development.

Good communication with babies and children: what is it?

Good communication is:

giving your child your full attention when you’re communicating with each other

encouraging your child to talk with you about what they’re feeling and thinking

listening and responding in a sensitive way to everything your child talks about – not just nice things or good news, but also emotions like anger, embarrassment, sadness and fear

focusing on body language and tone as well as words so you can really understand what your child is trying to express

using your own body language to show that you’re interested in what your child wants to share with you

taking into account what your child can understand and how long they can pay attention.
