This pre-verbal communication involves eye gaze, gestures, and vocalisations, but there are also several concepts that a baby needs to understand. In this article, we will look at the key pre-verbal…

For example, I saw this mom in a park kept on attempting to talk to her daughter about a problem except the daughter was extremely engrossed on her phone. The mom had this expression like she just lost her job, a frustration look. A minute later, the mom started…
