Join Dr. Sudha Arunachalam of NYU's BabyChildTeen research cohort for a fascinating talk on baby’s language development over lunch at The Winslow.
This informal workshop will provide an overview of how children learn language, from infancy through the preschool years. Dr. Arunachalam will discuss research on how baby babbles turn into full sentences and why toddlers and preschoolers make the cute mistakes they do. She will also talk about milestones to look out for, such as when to expect children to understand simple sentences, say their first word, and transition to full sentences. Finally, she'll discuss what you can do to support your child's language skills, such as practical strategies for sharing books with little ones at different ages.
We’ll meet in the back room of The Winslow, where food and drinks will be available for purchase. There will be time for questions and mingling at the end. Open to moms with babies 0-12 months, and babies are welcome to join you at the workshop.
This event is full. Be sure to join the Mom Crew mailing list to find out about the next one.

Sudha Arunachalam – LEARN Lab
Our research examines one of the most amazing accomplishments of early childhood: learning language. We work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to ask questions about how children discover the meanings of words and how children’s everyday experiences support language learning. This work interfaces with linguistics, cognitive and developmental psychology, and communication sciences and disorders.
