I have always read the books I was reading when my kids were baby’s, with my first I read Edward O Wilson’s “the ants” kinda cool to see how much they like insects as a late 20 something. With my youngest it was the science of cooking and a book called “Man corn” wich lays out the evidence for canablisim in the paleo southwest. And its kinda cool to see that that child is a lot like me. (honestly I wish my child didn’t end up with a lot of my issues and no I don’t think reading to them influenced anything other the their vocabulary and their desire to learn)
It’s amazing how mature and aware even infants are when you talk to them instead of at them.
We talked to our babies like humans and it worked for their language development. Weirdly, my ex now speaks to them at 11 and 13 with baby talk. 🤷🏼♂️
