The Talk With Your Baby Program has 4 modules that can be taken in any order.


Module 1: How Babies Communicate
This module provides strategies for building brain architecture through daily interactions, focusing on
understanding a baby’s cues and supporting language development via play and stories.


Module 2: Baby’s World: Words, Stories, and Screens
This module focuses on creating a language-rich environment, using emotion coaching to manage big
feelings, and implementing guidelines for smart screen use.


(NEW!) Module 3: Ready, Set, Grow: Language, Behavior & the Self-Regulated Brain
This teaches caregivers how to use intentional language, predictable routines, and co-regulation strategies to physically shape a young child’s brain architecture for lifelong resilience and self-regulation.


(Coming Soon) Module 4: Building Baby's Brain: Movement, Music, and Patterns
This module helps families use music, rhythm, and movement to build a baby's early math and language
skills by creating and noticing patterns in daily interactions and routines.
