babytalk
Babytalk, also known as motherese, caregiver speech, child-directed speech, or infant-directed speech, refers to the simplified and exaggerated manner of speaking often used by adults when communicating with infants or young children. It is characterized by higher pitch, slower tempo, repetitive sentences, and exaggerated emotions. Babytalk is specifically designed to capture and hold the baby's attention, aid in emotional bonding, and support language acquisition and cognitive development. However, it is not just limited to language but also involves gestures, exaggerated facial expressions, and other non-verbal elements to engage the child.
