WOW! Startling statistics came out in 2009 which said, many parents (69%) do not realize that children as early as 6 months can experience feelings of sadness and fear. While 65% do not realize that their moods can affect their babies. Children as early as 1 and 2 years of age can experience feelings of feeling good or bad about themselves. Also, only 70% of parents realize that it is important to sing and talk to their baby from infancy.
Unfortunately, parenting doesn't come with a user's manual like that shiny car sitting in your driveway. Spread the word-- talk to your baby!!!
