The two-year project, called Face to Face, funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families, aims to identify key messages for parents and carers in relation to communicating with babies and young children, and to look at the most effective methods for delivering these messages.
Liz Attenborough, manager of Talk to Your Baby, said, 'New parents sometimes lack knowledge and understanding. Through this project we want to be able to make parents feel more confident in what they are doing and to make talking to your baby the cultural norm'.
The project is to be undertaken in three stages.
A research team from the University of Dundee has been commissioned to undertake stage one of the project, which will be completed next month.
