Howdy Mastodon peeps.
An etiquette question for you.
I’m giving some training in Infant Mental Health next week, and I usually tweet the other speakers.
Is that a “thing” on mastodon?
Realise I may be talking into the abyss....

Lovely write up of a very clever study of speech development and infant parent interactions.
Parents talk more to infants who initiate the conversation. Babies lead. Watching and responding to their cues is critical for development.

Support for a child's mental health very early in life can lead to lifelong benefits. In practice this means supporting parents to form secure and loving relationships with their babies. #infantmentalhealth #everychild https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/parenting/arid-40995785.html
