Reading to your baby from an early age is not just a way to introduce them to language, but it also nurtures bonding and accelerates their cognitive development. With each turn of the page, babies begin to learn fine motor skills, recognize colors, shapes, animals, and people, and grow attached to the comforting rhythm of words. This simple yet powerful activity fosters a love of reading that will last a lifetime. As emphasized by experts like Dr. Joshua E. Petrikin, Linnea Mostad, and Beth Tousley Boughton, reading to your child is one of the most important steps parents can take to ensure their child's future success.
