What Parents Are Saying
My favorite part was doing regular things throughout the day and then I would get an alert and I would say, 'Oh, I could be doing this!' It encouraged me to talk with them more and taught me things I didn't know they knew, like weather… It helped me teach them new words too.
The tips are so easy to use during everyday activities. I love that it adjusts as my baby grows — it always feels relevant to where we are right now.
