[(weight in pounds/height in inches)/height in inches] x 703
primary prevention of language and speech delays
may be achieved by providing children with a rich
language environment within positive social relationships
recommendations that primary care clinicians can
give to parents of infants and young toddlers are as follows
Speak often to infants and young children. Baby
talk—the use of simple sentences with exaggerated
intonation—is well suited to children’s learning needs.
recommendations that primary care clinicians can
give to parents of infants and young toddlers are as follows
Use language to describe or explain what a young child
is doing or to expand what a child has just said to
engage the child for language learning.
recommendations that primary care clinicians can
give to parents of infants and young toddlers are as follows
Use language during social interactions, such as
reading books and playing. Reading is associated with
more language input than meals, baths, or play.

strong contributor to
the child’s language development
primary care clinicians play a role in primary prevention of
language and speech disorders by
counseling families about the
importance of the learning environment. Reach Out and Read
supports the development of language and reading
bedtime
fading will provide quick results in
Based on the physiologic
theory of sleep homeostasis,
bedtime fading indirectly compresses
sleep by gradually limiting time in
bed, usually by delaying the infant’s
bedtime by 15 minutes each night–improving sleep-onset latency
Graduated extinction
where the
parents’ response to their infant’s
nocturnal cries are totally ignored
(extinction), or initially delayed (eg, 2 minutes) and then gradually
extended up to 6 minutes on the
first night (graduated extinction) can reduce nocturnal
wakefulness during the night
