7 Super Things Parents and Caregivers Can Do
 |
- Talk often with your children from the day they are born.
- Hug them, hold them, and respond to their needs and interests.
- Listen carefully as your children communicate with you.
- Read aloud to your children every day, even when they are babies. Play and sing with them often.
- Say "yes" and "I love you" as much as you say "no" and "don't."
- Ensure a safe, orderly, and predictable environment, wherever they are.
- Set limits on their behavior and discipline them calmly, not harshly.
