Parentsese is not merely and English speaking pratice, its spoken around the world.
When we see a baby youll probably start talking in a high pitched tone and stretching out your vowels like "Whooose a prettyy baybeee?" This musical way of talking is called parentese. It helps caregivers connect to their babies and helps babies devolp their language skills.
How is Parentese different from baby talk?
Baby talk uses nonsense words and sounds. Parentses uses actual words, in short and simple sentences, often repeated over and over again. For example: "Who's my li-i-ttle baybee? Are you my littlee baybee? Yes, yoooou are!"
I have used parentses to talk to my son ever since he was first born, and now at one year old he says lots of words. And on his way to saying some sentences!
