Researchers have known for decades that moms tend to speak to their babies in high-pitched, repetitive \u201cbaby talk\u201d voices, or what they refer to as parentese or motherese \u2014 isn\u2019t that right wittle muffin muffin? But after deciding to check, they recently discovered dads don\u2019t do the same. At this past summer\u2019s Meeting of the <a href=\"http:\/\/acousticalsociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Acoustical Society of America<\/a>, speech scientists at Washington State University revealed what they found after recording mamas and papas speaking to their 2 \u00bd year-olds for a full day: Each mother raised the pitch of her voice by an average of 40 hertz when talking to her preschooler, whereas very few fathers changed their tones.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier studies have concluded that baby talk may help kids learn language skills, but word to your father: his pitch is still perfect. \u201cDads talk to kids like they talk to adults,\u201d said study co-author Mark VanDam \u2014 something his team surmised could help wee ones communicate better with the outside world. Seems like the language of love is universal, indeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/lil-mib-message-in-a-box?source=blog_uk0601116\" target=\"_blank\">Lil&#8217; Mib (Message in a Box)<\/a> | $66<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Papa don\u2019t reach: If you\u2019ve ever tried to recall dear old dad cooing to you as a child but&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":221,"featured_media":47713,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47682"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47715,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47682\/revisions\/47715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
