Keep Talking, Dad

When it comes to a child's speech development, fathers may have more influence than mothers. Researchers at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute videotaped 92 families with children under 1 year old during free-play sessions in their homes, then reviewed parents' speech patterns. Once the children turned 3, researchers checked their language skills. One of the main predictors of high scores was the number of different words fathers used, while mothers' speech didn't seem to have an effect.


So you better watch what you said daddy... it seems that mommy's speech doesn't have an effect... so... ENGLISH please!!!!
