The Rockdale County Health Department and the Conyers-Rockdale Library System held an event earlier this week to promote the “Talk With Me Baby” initiative.

Talk With Me Baby encourages parents and guardians of children from ages 0-3 to speak and read to them in order to help children learn communication skills. By speaking to young children, parents can provide them with vocabulary necessary to express emotions and desires and provide them with the ability to learn to read.

In this event, GNR team and Conyers-Rockdale Library spread awareness of the program initiatives through educational materials, story telling, and support. We are happy to report that the event was a success. To see more pictures like the one in this post, be sure to check out our album on Facebook !

Talk With Me Baby is sponsored by the Georgia Department of Public Health, the Marcus Autism Center and the Georgia Children’s Cabinet, along with Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal.
