Mirror play might look like simple fun, but it’s actually a big step in early development.

Babies start exploring their reflection long before they truly recognize themselves. This playful time builds:

Body awareness
Early social skills
Balance and coordination

And let’s be honest… it’s adorable too. Just look at that smile 🙂

❤️🧡Happy ‘International Mother Language Day’ 💋🌏
We all know that communication is key to connection, learning, and confidence. For little ones, developing speech and language skills is an exciting journey.

🌺 Fact #1 - Maintaining a child’s native language while gradually acquiring a second language (bilingualism) makes it easier for them to learn additional languages later on, compared to children raised with only one language. That’s why we encourage families to embrace their home language while also supporting overall speech and language development.

🌺 Fact #2 - Some children pick up words quickly, while others need a little extra support – and that’s okay! Every child deserves the tools to express themselves, whether in their mother tongue, sign language, or through alternative communication methods.

🌺At Primes, we’re here to help children find their voice, build confidence, and develop the communication skills they need – in any language! If you have concerns about your child’s speech or language development, we’re always happy to help.
