(NewsUSA) - Parents who communicate with their unborn babies might be giving their children a head start in developing speech and language skills, according to some child development experts.
Evidence now shows that a child can receive sounds in the womb, and communicating with an unborn child could enhance learning, according to William S. Brown, director of the University of Florida's Institute for the Advanced Study of Communication Processes.
During gestation, the ear is the most developed organ prior to birth. By the 23rd week of pregnancy, a baby will actually respond to the mother's loving communication. If you communicate with your unborn child, research indicates that the time it takes for your son or daughter to learn anything in the first year of life could be accelerated.
Studies have also unveiled ways to help fragile preemies develop into healthy babies through the healing power of sound. In the past 30 years, scientists have documented the positive impacts music therapy has in reducing stress and anxiety in infants and young children. Music also helps preemies neurologically adjust to their new worlds.
Recognizing the research that indicates learning begins in the womb, Tennessee-based Baby Bee Bright Corp. has developed a comprehensive prenatal learning system to help babies get a head start developing enhanced language and motor skills through music and sound.
Baby Bee Bright's stereo CDs, filled with sounds of music, poetry and stories, may help stimulate an unborn child's thinking development. The fetal microphone offers a safe way to communicate with a baby in the womb and does not use AC current, ultrasound or radio waves.
"A product like Baby Bee Bright may enhance early development and subsequently redefine the concept of early intervention," says Dr. Philip De Fina, director of neuropsychological research at the New York University Brain Research Laboratories.
