Talk, sing and read with your kids.

The American Academy of Pediatrics now advised doctors to deliver a clear message at the 2 month check-up about the role of talking, reading, and singing with their infants and toddlers.  Too Small to Fail is one of several initiatives that passes out books and a clear message in the pediatrician's office. Other programs give out books and messages in the maternity ward!    
I could say, "Duh." Those of us working with your children realize that word knowledge makes a difference.  Those who sailed across the sea to reach the Land Of Opportunity sang and talked to their kids! 
Talk, sing and read with your kids.  
It should be a Super Bowl Slogan!  
If we really want to make a difference,
let's start saving for a commercial!
