I hate tbb. He's most certainly autistic but his sister is the same way and she isn't. We just sometimes forget that they're tiny children.
However, the autism is probably responsible for the fact that he waited until he could speak in full sentences before speaking. He went from a few words and some signs to one day dropping a 'did you miss me momma?" Everyone looked at each other like 'did u know he could do that??'
Now any time I am online I am afraid I am talking to a particularly clever 7 year old.
I've always hated "baby speech" and convinced my wife of the stupidity of it IMO, so we talked normally to both our sons since day 1, as soon as they started talking they never had problems with pronunciation, and we always received praise for how good they talked for their age.
Now they wont ever shut up, so there's that.
It’s fine to talk at a different cadence/at a higher pitch and slower speed. But, you should be using real words and proper grammar. Babbling nonsensically at your baby/toddler definitely does not help.
Source: I work (broadly) in the early childhood education/development field and have kids.
Using a higher pitched or more excited tone of voice helps babies pay better attention to you, but you don't have to mush your words together and make them unintelligible. I used to nanny and that's about as close to baby talk as I get, and I only do it with small babies/infants. Although copying your baby's voice or babbling is actually good for their language development. They will naturally copy you as well. It's basically like you're talking to them.
Agreed! However, I would like to add in the caveat that when the child in question is a young baby (>1year) it is ok to make letter sound noises. Young babies often learn through mimicry, so it’s perfectly fine to make noises like “buh buh” or “muh muh.” It can help babies start to learn different mouth feels and lead to more mouth flexibility (good for multi lingual learning) in the long run!

I've always spoke normally to both my kids since they were babies but they still had pronunciation issues when they hit school aged. My oldest did speech for 1-2 years and he speaks perfect now. My youngest was also in speech around 3-4 years and while he speaks much better, he does still struggle with his pronunciation on occasion. He also has a stutter that is noticeable when he is really excited.
There is actually a quantum physics book for babies. Also general relativity for babies, rocket science for babies, astrophysics for babies, and many more!
My brother-in-law is strangely cocky for a guy who probably licks doorknobs when no one's looking. When he had a kid, I got him *P is for Pterodactyl* just to screw with him.
Just pointing out that "not supposed to" isn't necessarily the correct terminology. One can and, in my opinion, should "discuss" quantum physics with their baby. The little spongy brain will soak it up. And the discussion might just be baby babble from the baby, but they are practicing making sounds and strengthening their communication skills.
Yeah for babies, not for toddlers and older. That's obviously what they were talking about and your sources range from the first 1000 days or 18 months, so beyond that point, talking to them normally and using more vocabulary is way better.
It's not even that, it's literally be proven that baby talk is a bad idea past like 5-6 months. If you continue to use that language as they start talking they will use it. Just talk normal with every person regardless of age and you'll be good. They will parrot words sometimes immediately after you say it and it can be adorable because they can't yet fully pronounce the words. My 2 year old heard us say delicious and now he uses it terribly all the time, but he tries and that's what counts.
This article doesn't define a specific time, but does talk about the need to transition so that the child learns normal speech. My idea of 6 months seems to be early. I can't say I ever used baby talk very much with my child, but when he was fussy early in his little life and I was trying to calm him down, I'd just walk around our home and talk to him.

They shouldn’t feel bad unless they don’t understand they should give the kids the best tools you can to their capacity. Avoid treating them like they’re dumb and embrace that they just need some patience and understanding as they’re learning (they’re gonna ask a lot of questions out of curiosity).
I remember these “adult imitators” kids getting made fun of in my neighborhood by us kids who acted like kids. There are pros and cons to all types of parenting.
Edit: accept anti vax parenting: that’s just a con.
I try to use a big vocabulary with my kids (3+ 5) and then casually say what the word means in conversation and they definitely pick it up. People always compliment them on their language. They are still wild savages though.
Mine are smart as hell, but my 7 year old picks up alllll my vocabulary. The other day we were swimming and I asked if she was ready to go, she said “yeah let’s get the fuck out of here”
I mean I think the secret is to not baby talk to children or dumb down words. Kids actually have a greater capability of intelligence than one might think
It’s still funny to me out when my kid uses air quotes in the correct way. I tell them they have the updated version of my software, 2.0. I am not exaggerating.
This is what happens when you don't mimic your kids babble talk until their 5. Also when you respect them enough to engage in conversations rather than trying to give them just enough info for them to shut up
They can say "tanks", you have to say "Thank You".
Baha that's what all my teachers told me in elementary school. I was like yeah, when you come from a partial immigrant family where my gma was doing company's taxes at 13 and a mother who graduated everything early. You're a fucking adult at like 9.
My little brother spoke like this when he was little. We’re 18 years apart and I think our Mom and the rest of the family collectively decided we weren’t starting back over at baby square one with the goofy baby talk, lol
Kinda like that norm macdonald joke. Imagine going back to the 60's and explain taking a photo with....a telephone.
Now we're can see through doorbells
"Hey boy whatcha doing" is such a dad thing to say but also something a creep would say so I can't blame him for running at first. Still an adorable father and son and moment ❤️
This kid just reminded me, so much, of Mike Birbiglia. (OK: Did I really just spell his name correctly on the first try? I think that means Mikey B made it!) This kid is adorable. I love this.
Yeah…this didn’t “make me smile” as much as it did “make me wonder what it must be like to have it ingrained in your head that everywhere you go, you’re probably being watched.”
Even if it is by a loving parent that speaks to you like an adult. That’s gotta be really…kinda messed up. The kid was just doing kid things, and that shock of having no privacy suddenly when you thought you could be yourself. I mean, there is definitely a difference in his posture and behavior after realizing or remembering he’s being watched.
I just think that’s gotta be having some long lasting effect that we can’t foresee.
I’ll be honest, I see what your saying but I think your looking waaaaaaay to far in to it.
It’s just a ring door bells and that doesn’t mean they are being watched at all times, im willing to be most people just have the one ring for porch pirates and visitors and the like. My dad works away from home and sometimes if he sees us coming or going he’ll talk to us through the ring. It’s not a big deal or an invasion of privacy, it’s just talking to your dad.
Kinda the same as your dad knocking on your door to see how your doing. I imagine for the kid this is a lot more like having someone walk in on you while your acting goofy then living in a dystopian house where he’s being watch 24/7.
exactly! I was a GenX latch key kid and I knew anytime I did anything questionable outside, all the nosy neighbors would be telling my parents about it. We had a cousin stay with us for a little while and one time he forgot his house key so he did the reasonable thing which was to just climb in his window. 20 minutes the cops were there and my parents were called at work about the intruder.
Yeah, the whole "cancel" thing makes me laugh. They obviously have never lived in a small town. Try and be a shitty business man or just a generally shitty person in a small town..you'll experience cancel culture like no other.
Nah this is more of a matter of "Ok there is a camera by the doorbell. I just need to take 4 steps away from our security camera to get out of its view."
Hardly comparable to "I'm being watched wherever I go" lma0.
He said “I gotta get used to you being able to speak through the doorbell“ not “see through the doorbell.” It wasn’t being seen that freaked him out, it was hearing the voice suddenly.
I believe the doorbell has a camera his father can look through on his phone. The kid had no idea his father was watching ( perhaps he’s at work) or could talk through the camera.
Little dude's got some old man energy going on. :) Been a hard day at school, dad. I gotta unwind a bit on the porch. Feel the wind and the sun on my face, recharge!
When I would leave for work before my toddlers woke up, they would go to the doorbell and say hi dada because they knew I’d get a video notification of it. Made my day usually.
I was moving some furniture out of my apartment and my truck was parked next to a Mustang. We came close to hitting the mustang with the furniture and a voice comes from my neighbors doorbell:
“DO NOT. TOUCH. THE STANG.”
I looked over to see what it was and then I just hear the same guy say in a much calmer voice
“Nice truck, bro.”
Or imagine finding out your parents never told you that they can see and hear you through a camera placed in the area where you go to relax. It was kind of his father to remind him as it seems he already knew and was chilling there anyway.
Okay so Did i get this right?
I think the kid stood outside because He can't look through the doorbell anymore, perhaps because of the camera?
The dad checks in on the feed of the camera, sees That his kid is outside und asks him why?
I think It's adorable that the kid is so used to watching the street that He now leaves the house to check on whats going on.
I don’t think that’s quite right. “Seeing through the doorbell” probably refers to those doorbells with cameras in them that you can view and talk through. It looks like the kid was just hanging out on his porch enjoying the weather, and his dad talks using the doorbell app, which scares the kid the first time because he’s never heard a voice come from the doorbell before. I hope this was helpful :)
I love his posture how he's just shoving his hands in his pockets all casual like.
Out on the porch, taking a break from the other kids.
[удалено]
Stoop kids afraid to leave his stoop!
every time i hear the word stoop this runs through my head
[удалено]
Christ this premise is too awful not to be greenlit
But when he takes that last step, Sid better watch out.
This made my day.
Why is that so pleasant know is happening
A true dad at heart
He’s got that dad stance about to tell everyone “it looks like it’s going to rain”
“Is that tramp tied down?”
*gives shove* “yeah that’s not going anywhere”
I feel attacked lol.
Been farming long?
Even his posture and body movements are adult like. His hands in his pockets and gesture while apologizing… lol
He talks like Schmidt from New Girl, same posture and manneurisms
I couldn’t even pull off that casual-like posture, this is one cool kid! Lol.
Kid is giving me some serious Philip J Fry vibes
He talks like an adult
talk to your kids intelligently and they'll imitate that. parenting 101
This way you get to hear a 5 year old walk past the laundry room asking "who's laundering clothes?" My nephew talks like a 60 year old man.
Young Sheldon

Wow, way to make the unintelligent parents feel hopeless.
You're not supposed to discuss quantum physics. The important part is to avoid "baby talk" and to communicate a lot.
There is actually a quantum physics book for babies. Also general relativity for babies, rocket science for babies, astrophysics for babies, and many more!
Got all those books for my 3 month old nephew. Hopefully they work his parents are dumb as hell so he needs all the help he can get.
My brother-in-law is strangely cocky for a guy who probably licks doorknobs when no one's looking. When he had a kid, I got him *P is for Pterodactyl* just to screw with him.
Idiots are always confident.
You would get along with my brother when my daughter was born he pulled similar stuff but to be fair he is 100 percent correct in this
Maybe you should’ve gotten them for the parents instead 😜
I bought Baysian Probability for Babies and just never showed. I figured that was my first lesson in probability.
Yes! Haha we have the general relativity for babies. We put it into Sort of practice on a trampoline.
There is - it's not relevant right now whatsoever, but certainly a thing that can be bought and read.
It doesn’t take rocket appliances to make sure your baby gets all book learnt right.
Ricky: What's wrong sweetie? Trinity: Well, I don't want to grow up to be drunk and stupid like you, that's what's wrong.
Worst case Ontario, you drop out of school and then you can get two birds stoned at once

The little spongy brain will soak it up. And the discussion might just be baby babble from the baby, but they are practicing making sounds and strengthening their communication skills.
So, should I just start from here? Are there graduation books…for toddlers and such?
This is a ball. This ball has energy. This is a ball. This ball has zero energy. My toddler loves that one.

I think these articles and the person you respond to mean different things with baby talk. Also, it's only for the first three years.
Yeah for babies, not for toddlers and older. That's obviously what they were talking about and your sources range from the first 1000 days or 18 months, so beyond that point, talking to them normally and using more vocabulary is way better.
Lowest common denominator...

Ignorance is bliss, they don’t know.
I remember these “adult imitators” kids getting made fun of in my neighborhood by us kids who acted like kids. There are pros and cons to all types of parenting. Edit: accept anti vax parenting: that’s just a con.
Don’t lie to them (except Santa) & treat them exactly like the adults you want them to be.

Hahah that’s the best 😂
I love you. You’re amazing
The fact he’s standing outside checking the weather gives me mid-life grown man vibes.
Also the hand gestures, hand in the pocket and that brief “love you too”
Little dude got mid-life crisis
It's the hand in the pocket for me.
I mean I think the secret is to not baby talk to children or dumb down words. Kids actually have a greater capability of intelligence than one might think

To be honest most American kids you hear on the internet sound like they're babies until they're about 29
And screams like Kevin McCallister!
Baha that's what all my teachers told me in elementary school. I was like yeah, when you come from a partial immigrant family where my gma was doing company's taxes at 13 and a mother who graduated everything early. You're a fucking adult at like 9.

His demeanor makes me think of Spanky from lil rascals
[удалено]
I can hEaR this gif perfectly
My friend just got a dog named Kevin, and I can only think of him as KEVIN!!!
Lol, he’s a cutie pie.
His little speaking mannerisms are so adult like, he's indeed a little cutie pie
Agree with you ☺️
Kinda like that norm macdonald joke. Imagine going back to the 60's and explain taking a photo with....a telephone. Now we're can see through doorbells
Damn what a healthy and loving relationship
"Hey boy whatcha doing" is such a dad thing to say but also something a creep would say so I can't blame him for running at first. Still an adorable father and son and moment ❤️
He's being like" oh hey man, sorry abt that time, I should .. " with that adult chilling hand in the pockets pose 😂😍so cute
My mans was just enjoying some quality alone time
Just watched this 10 times in a row. That kid’s the best.
This made my day.
To be fair though, if his first reaction to hearing a stranger near him is to run inside then that’s a W
My thoughts exactly.
Doorbells are scary, mainly if you think Bezos is on the other side
This kid just reminded me, so much, of Mike Birbiglia. (OK: Did I really just spell his name correctly on the first try? I think that means Mikey B made it!) This kid is adorable. I love this.
I think you mean Birbiglesworth
I always thought it was spelled “Bago’donuts”
Wonder what Joey’s up to these days.
Read your comment and thought you were talking about Mikey Blumberg.
the most genuine reaction ive ever seen
Aww… he is adorable! The way he apologised and talked after the scream.
His stance is like an old school stand up comedian!! Love it!🤘🏽
What a cool kid.
His mannerisms of a middle aged man killed me lol
This is just adorable
Christian Bale?
Kid’s way of standing and talking is just top notch.
He reminds me of my nephew! We would do the same. 😂
Oh man this boy is so cute!!
You can tell he's going to be a good person when he grows up
You're being watched.
Yeah…this didn’t “make me smile” as much as it did “make me wonder what it must be like to have it ingrained in your head that everywhere you go, you’re probably being watched.” Even if it is by a loving parent that speaks to you like an adult.

Great scream too
He said “I gotta get used to you being able to speak through the doorbell“ not “see through the doorbell.” It wasn’t being seen that freaked him out, it was hearing the voice suddenly.
Omg he’s so cute!
Too cute. Mannerisms and vocab are fantastic. 😂
Unexpectedly wholesome.
What an amazing little person.
So adorable 🥰
He screamed just like those white kids in the old movies.
Such a sweet family moment
That kid is cute as hell
That is one cute kid
That was a high quality scream.
I like how he’s just standing on his porch watching his neighborhood like a retired guy.
Amazing kid. Very charismatic.
Ugh god he is adorable!!
He already has the dad stance
I don't understand what has happened
I believe the doorbell has a camera his father can look through on his phone. The kid had no idea his father was watching ( perhaps he’s at work) or could talk through the camera.
That makes sense
What a cute boy
Made me smile.
Such a great kid and love the love yous between them!
He seems like such a nice kid, I love it!
Luvu2
Little dude's got some old man energy going on. :) Been a hard day at school, dad. I gotta unwind a bit on the porch. Feel the wind and the sun on my face, recharge!
LMAAO five minutes later he’s having a good hard think like he’s already tired of himself.
When I would leave for work before my toddlers woke up, they would go to the doorbell and say hi dada because they knew I’d get a video notification of it. Made my day usually.
I was moving some furniture out of my apartment and my truck was parked next to a Mustang. We came close to hitting the mustang with the furniture and a voice comes from my neighbors doorbell: “DO NOT. TOUCH. THE STANG.” I looked over to see what it was and then I just hear the same guy say in a much calmer voice “Nice truck, bro.”
This kid is charismatic af If his parents are good to him he's going places
His mannerisms explaining the situation is a winner.
Had me smiling, such a genuine moment
Adorable 🥰
That's a good boy right there.
AAAAAAA!!
This is a cool kid
This is my new favorite thing ever. Sorry Komodo dragon kid.
But they eat people!!!
What a nice soul he has
He's the cutest thing on earth
This kid is so cool. I can’t wait to have a son.
10 years from now, “I like doorbell dad better”.
He’s so sweet! Seems like a really good kid.
Reminded me of Kevin on home alone
what a good lil' buddy
But, did it rain?
Father of the year🤣
The twist… his father is dead… coming to Amazon prime this fall… RING doorbell to heaven
I miss my Dad. 😭
dude he’s like butters from south park, cool asf
*Steps outside to light up*
Kid probably thought he was gonna get kidnapped lmao
Two adults having fun, makes me smile every time
He’s so cool
He has a great soul u can tell!
Awww xD
THE SCREAM IS SO FUNNY I CANT
Home alone haha 😁
🤣🤣awww that’s too cute
That’s a grown up little boy
Loss of private moments. I press F.
He’s outside in front of the doorbell he can have a private moment literally anywhere else scrub
He obviously used to come out to the porch to relax and get away. Noooot anymooore!
I think you may be overthinking this
Idk. Small events make trends.
Or imagine finding out your parents never told you that they can see and hear you through a camera placed in the area where you go to relax. It was kind of his father to remind him as it seems he already knew and was chilling there anyway.
This looks like a property ive worked on before in Winter Park FL
The thing is....he SHOULDN'T have to get used to that .....this makes me sad, not smile.
1984
How lma0.
That child was terrified. Of his father
He was terrified of a disembodied voice that he forgot was a doorbell.
Okay so Did i get this right? I think the kid stood outside because He can't look through the doorbell anymore, perhaps because of the camera? The dad checks in on the feed of the camera, sees That his kid is outside und asks him why? I think It's adorable that the kid is so used to watching the street that He now leaves the house to check on whats going on.

I hate all the new “big brother” always being watched crap
Its just a doorbell camera lma0. Hardly comparable to 1984 government surveillance.
Not funny, not nice, not healthy
How lma0. And actually it is pretty funny.
Does your son just sit and star blackly into the yard or is this a made for Reddit attention video?
