Joint attention is when two or more people focus attention on the same object or event. It is important to establish to help your toddler talk. As adults we need to focus not only on what we say but how we say it! Check out the following links to see videos created about this concept by Cari Ebert from cariebertseminars.com. Be sure to follow Cari on Facebook, as she posts amazing information for parents to help their children learn and develop. She also has an additional joint attention video that can only be found on her Facebook page, so be sure to check it out as well!
