Effective communication strategies by age group
Infants and Toddlers (0-2 years)*
- **Non-verbal Communication**: Infants and toddlers rely heavily on non-verbal cues. Maintain eye contact, smile often, and use gentle touch to convey warmth and security.
- **Simple Language**: Use simple, repetitive language to convey messages. Short sentences and clear gestures help them understand and respond.
- **Engage in Play**: Play is a powerful form of communication for this age group. Use toys and games to interact and build trust. Follow their lead, and join in their exploration.
