Steve@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?2·3 months agoIm 100% sure it makes a difference.
Both of my kids were communicating with body language by like 3 weeks. For example I could say “do you want a bottle?” And they would get all excited, or not, if they werent hungry. And I noticed with both kids the first thing they figured out was how to return a smile. Strangers get a kick out of it when an infant looks them in the eye and smiles.
Part of this is that you have to pay attention to them and respond. The feedback is what helps them learn fast, which they cant get from TV.
(I dint have anything anything against TV, just saying its not a substitute for human interaction)
They are 4 and 7 now and both have always had a surprisingly large vocabulary and speak clearly for their age.

Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?181·3 months agoReading to a baby is about exposing them to different words and patterns than what you get from normal speech.
If you want my advice, talk to them constantly as if you are the narrator, and smile and make eye contact at every opportunity.
Not sure if this applies before birth. It couldnt hurt, so I suggest reading whatever you like to read. And make sure its something that the mother wants to hear, assuming you arent her.

Of course that doesn’t protect you from inflation.
You still might be able to choose a precious metals fund or something that might outperform inflation.
