Linked Developmental Milestones

Communication

Turns head toward your voice

The infant shifts their gaze or turns their head toward the sound of a parent's or caregiver's voice. This movement demonstrates auditory localization and a social preference for human speech over environmental noises. It is an early sign of social-auditory connection and selective attention.

 Social & Emotional

Calms when spoken to/held

The infant calms down, reduces crying, or relaxes their body when spoken to in a soothing voice or picked up by a caregiver. This is the first indicator of caregiver attachment security and sensory-emotional regulation. It shows that they can use a familiar adult's presence to help regulate their nervous system.

 Communication

Makes sounds back when you talk

The infant vocalizes in response to caregiver speech, engaging in early turn-taking.
