About this episode

Dipesh Navsaria, MPH, MSLIS, MD, FAAP, joins host Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez to talk about the value of reading aloud to children. Even infants can benefit from the relationship building that happens when a caregiver holds them and points at pictures, using funny voices to tell stories. These brief interactions support healthy mental development and learning skills as children get older. For resources go to healthychildren.org/podcast.
