When holding, my parents, grandparents, grandparents cuddled close to my face and talked, nurtured, showed smiling faces, happy, swaying on my hands and watching children. When children look at themselves, we continue to shake and talk and sing to them. This stage also needs to stimulate children by buying toys with sounds like dice, little chirps, cries of animals .

During the age of 6-12 months, parents should train positive listening skills for younger children. For example, help children distinguish dice, pet sounds in houses, cars, motorbikes and musical instruments . The period of children from 12 to 36 months of age, if children develop normally will distinguish clearly understand all the skills of listening, seeing and speaking, laughing, angry . If the child is still slow to speak at this stage, the parents must show up to the doctor early to detect and treat in time , save children from an unfortunate disability.
