Starting at birth, infants actively build connections between sounds, gestures, and meaning. As infants

communication and infants' early language, this video illustrates ten strategies caregivers can use to
enhance communication and language development. These strategies include responding when
infants initiate communication, engaging in nonverbal communication, using child-directed language,
