WORD of the Week. Sibling. Cartoon style image with three brown haired siblings laughing. Ones sitting on a sofa and two are on pillows on the floor. The are reading books. Text at bottom reading "Children can learn language from siblings"

A larger age gap between siblings encourages better conversations with younger siblings and increased verbal ability for younger siblings.🫂​
Older sisters are especially helpful, but we encourage any older brothers to speak up, read stories, and play games with their younger siblings too!💬📚​

We are looking forward to connecting to new followers on a new platform.
