Summary

This study tests whether teaching parents to talk more with their babies during regular well-child visits can improve language development. Researchers will enroll 400 parent-child pairs and compare those who receive the 'Talk With Me Baby' coaching to those who get standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach can help prevent language delays and support long-term learning.
