Highlights
Vanessa from speakenglishwithvanessa.com invites you to join her on a journey to practice English in real-world scenarios, starting with a visit to the pharmacy.
In the US, pharmacies are not only for medicines but also offer a variety of products such as cosmetics, toys, and household items, acting as One-Stop shops.
Pharmacies in the US often have a clinic where you can receive advice or consultation from certified nurses or doctors on medical issues.
Prescription medications require a doctor's evaluation and prescription, while over-the-counter medications can be purchased without a doctor's approval.
Pharmacies are known for having a wide selection of cards for various occasions, making it convenient for last-minute purchases.
The term 'over the counter' can be confusing, as it refers to medications that can be purchased without a prescription, despite the presence of a counter.
Pharmacies also carry non-medical items such as candy, dry goods, and even alcohol in some cases, further emphasizing their role as One-Stop shops.
Vanessa provides a detailed walkthrough of the checkout process at a pharmacy, including the use of self-checkout and the option to get cash back.
The video includes a stroll through a downtown neighborhood in Asheville, North Carolina, showcasing the local art, architecture, and lifestyle.
Vanessa discusses the two types of residents in Asheville: long-time locals with older style houses and newcomers who build new, larger homes.
A unique house with a collection of windchimes covering its front is featured, highlighting the eclectic nature of some residents' personal tastes.
The importance of responding to a baby's vocalizations to encourage language development is emphasized, based on recent studies.
Vanessa shares her personal experiences and tips on baby-proofing a house, such as using outlet protectors and keeping sharp objects out of reach.
The use of a baby carrier and stroller is discussed as practical tools for parents to safely and comfortably carry their babies during outings.
Simple phrases and expressions for taking care of a baby in English are introduced, aiming to help new parents incorporate English into their daily routines.
A mega PDF worksheet with vocabulary from the pharmacy, walk, and baby care sections is offered for free to help learners retain the new language concepts.
The video concludes with a recommendation for another lesson on grocery shopping in English and a teaser about a common mispronunciation that will be corrected.
Transcripts
you're invited to join me around town to
practice English in the real world first
we are going to be going to the pharmacy
then we are going to be taking a walk in
a beautiful Park and finally you're
going to be coming back to my house in
practicing English for a little baby how
to talk about this type of vocabulary I
can't wait for you to take this journey
with me hi I'm Vanessa from speak
englishwith vanessa. comom and like
always I have created a free Mega PDF
today with all of the important
vocabulary Expressions definitions
sample sentences and at the bottom of
the worksheet you can answer Vanessa's
challenge question so that you never
forget what you are about to learn
around town and in the real world in
English you can click on the link in the
description to download that free pdf
worksheet today all right let's get
started and come with me to the pharmacy
we need to buy a few things because
I'm not feeling too well let's
go so inside a pharmacy in the US there
are a lot of things that you can
purchase you might think that a pharmacy
is just for medicine but that's not true
there's a lot of different sections so
let's walk around here we are in the
Cosmetics section Cosmetics means
makeup and you can see down each aisle
like this
you can buy soap shampoo really anything
you could imagine um little toys and
trinkets there are endless amounts of
things you can get at a pharmacy in fact
this is something that the US is kind of
known for for having stores that are a
One-Stop shop that means you can stop
one place and get everything you need
very convenient and kind of a
stereotype
this is where you would go if you were
celebrating a birthday party and you
wanted to buy some balloons candles
themed birthday plates for your
kids birthday cards any cards for really
any occasion in fact this is something
that pharmacies are known for is having
lots of cards so if you are on the way
somewhere and you realize I forgot to
bring a card well you can just stop into
a pharmacy let's see
so over here you can see this is the
actual Pharmacy part you can go to the
clinic you can actually see somebody who
is a certified nurse or doctor someone
who can give you some advice about a
medical issue generally it's a good idea
to make an appointment but you can
always drop in and ask if they have any
any way that you can talk with someone
if you have an issue um over here you
can
see it says in big letters what we came
for
pharmacy so at the pharmacy this is
where you would go if you were going to
pick up a prescription and in the US
there's a couple different ways to get
medicine unfortunately a lot of
medications that are pretty typical like
an antibiotic you have to have a
prescription which means you need to see
a doctor first you have to pay to see
the doctor the has to evaluate if you
need that medicine and then they will
send a prescription to your chosen
Pharmacy so when you go to a doctor in
the US they'll ask what is your
preferred Pharmacy and you'll choose
maybe a place like this and you'll say
uh the address and the location and then
you can come here and you can pick up
your prescription whenever it's
available I see my baby has noticed the
microphone you want to grab that not a
good idea
um it is possible that you could ask the
pharmacist or if they have a little
clinic like this you could ask them for
some advice so if you have no
appointment if you just need some
medical advice maybe you're on a
vacation and you have a cough that won't
go away you could ask hey do you have
any recommendations what should I do you
could ask them for advice who knows what
they'll say but it's always worth it and
it's no problem to ask um let's take a
look at some of the aisles to see what
kind of medication you can get over the
counter and I'll explain what that
means so for
example uh this is the children's
section but let's say you have allergies
terrible
allergies and you visit the US during
like a spring season you will need to
get some allergy medicine this is
something that you can get over the
counter these are children's allergy
medications um in the children section
um but you can get allergy medicine you
can get pain and fever relieving
medicine over the counter and I've
always been a little bit confused by
this phrase because where's the counter
there's no
counter instead that's the counter uh
where you actually have to have a
prescription so don't be confused over
the counter means that you can just walk
in and get it you don't need a
prescription you don't need a doctor's
approval you can just walk in and get
anything over the counter even though
that's the counter don't be confused
sometimes English is strange all right
let's keep walking and see what else you
can
get need some kleenex you can get
Kleenex you can get wrapping paper if
it's Christmas time like it is now uh
you can get reading reading glasses if
you forgot your reading
glasses uh you can even get some kind of
like Minor Medical
Supplies there's some hearing aids there
are some uh braces for your arm there
are alarm
clocks uh paternity testing
kits I didn't even know you could get
that here there's
thermometers uh pain
medication um sometimes in the US we do
use you're right baby sometimes we do
use the brand name oh a little cough
maybe you need some
medication we do use the brand name to
talk about medications so if you ask a
pharmacist um I have a cough what should
I do and they recommend a specific brand
name to you and you're not familiar with
it you can just ask oh is that a cough
medication or is that a fever reducing
medication you're welcome to ask for
clarification because cuz sometimes I
don't know what the medication is either
so feel free to ask for clarification if
you're not sure all right let's keep
going lots and lots of medication lots
and
lots all right we're getting to the
section of stuff not medicine anymore
candy candy candy um so if you need to
buy any dry goods maybe last minute
Christmas
presents um you can get toilet paper
laundry detergent all of these types of
dry goods and there's even lots of
different types of foods so let's go
take a look at the
food there's candy and candy and candy
and
candy lots of candy um but there might
be you know seasonal items as well right
now it is almost Christmas I know it's
after Christmas when you're watching
this but imagine Christmas um so lots of
candy for stockings and different
seasonal
things um there's many toys down here
let's actually go down the next aisle I
want to show you
something these types of things are like
grab and go snacks so you could get
pistachios chocolate covered almonds I
love that kind of
stuff uh more Trail makes dried fruit
chips lots of soda lots and lots of
soda uh beef jerky lots of beef jerky
apparently different types of popcorn
and juices and back
here it's a little bit loud there are
coolers where you can get cooled drinks
and guess what in some pharmacies in the
US you can buy alcohol did you hear that
right
alcohol you can get beer and wine in
some phes and that's really normal um
here I guess in this Pharmacy I don't
see any um it might be state by state
too different states have different
rules but don't be surprised if you walk
into a pharmacy and there's wine grab a
bottle of wine and go have a party let's
go down here for the last
section this is the baby section so if
you have a baby like I do and you need
to buy anything like specific baby
medicine um baby soaps diapers wipes any
of these types of things you can get
this here so it's pretty incredible
pharmacies are so inclusive of many
different things they are really a
onstop shop now I must say that often
times pharmacies in the US are going to
be more expensive than going to
somewhere like Walmart or purchasing
something online if you have that option
but you know what sometimes when you're
visiting or you're traveling it's nice
to just go to one of these places that's
an easy access and OneStop shop and you
can just get whatever you need to get
all right I'm going to grab a pack of
baby wipes you always need baby wipes
when you have a baby and we're going to
go to the checkout and I'll show you how
the checkout works if I remember right
this Pharmacy has a couple checkout
options so let's go
see oh you can even get stuff for your
car
pretty amazing if you need some washer
fluid or something for your car or to
wash your clothes it's
here welcome if you have your extra so
I'm going to use the self checkout
because that's the easiest option and
there's nobody here right now um and I
think those are pretty much pretty much
the same all around the world place your
item in the bagging area I did um one
little note as I do this there is a
photo studio so if you want to have any
pictures printed and you don't have
access to doing that online if you are
this is a great place to do that so you
can um get your pictures printed here
all right I'm going to scan coupon now
touch the continue but finished and I'm
going to
continue no your total is five and I
will use my card system processing swipe
or insert card and follow instructions
on pin pad all right now I know in some
countries you have to just put your card
in really quickly sometimes in the US
it's quick sometimes you have to leave
it in there so please read the pin pad
little screen and make sure you're doing
it the right way all right I don't want
to receipt so I'll click no
receipt and that's it I'm not going to
use a bag I'll just carry it out myself
CS let's go you're
welcome I just want to let you know
there also is is an ATM at a lot of
CVS's um you can use the ATM or what you
can do if you go to the checkout counter
where there's an actual person there um
I think you can do this at the self
checkout too you can choose cash back
and you can get cash back so if you need
$20 in cash um you're welcome to go to
the counter and buy something small buy
a little candy bar or some gum and then
ask for some cash back and you can get
cash back or you can use the ATM that's
what we call it in the US in fact it's
right here
ATM you can use that as well to get
money back all right let's leave come
on all right I want to show you
something else down here this uh is kind
of a blast from the past I don't know if
in your country people use DVDs still or
if they're more likely to use Netflix in
the US DVDs are not very common but this
is a machine
where you can rent DVDs and they will
come out of here I guess this little
slot they'll come out and you can
actually take the physical DVD home it's
called a red box um it's kind of a blast
from the past I don't know how many
people actually use these but you know
what if you need a DVD go for it enjoy
the red box at the pharmacy thanks for
joining me at the pharmacy now that
we've purchased a few items it's time to
take a walk the best medic medine is a
breath of fresh air sometimes so let's
go on a walk so here we are well we here
with my baby we are here in a downtown
neighborhood of Asheville North Carolina
and the only thing you can see right now
is probably this gigantic retaining wall
and on the other side are some grocery
stores and on this
side there are some houses it's kind of
a busy area uh usually here people will
park on the street if you can see that
here people park on the street
because they they might have a garage
but a lot of people just have driveways
so you can see up here as we walk by
there are some driveways there's some
obstacles in the
road my husband Dan is recording this
and he's trying to not fall over so you
can see here there are some driveways
but usually downtown people don't have
garages so they park on the streets we
call this street parking oh look at this
lovely
mural I love
you yes I think uh my city Asheville is
kind of known for
art known for some other types of like
um music on the street these types of
things but where we are is a
neighborhood and and not where people
are playing music on the streets so
let's keep going down this street
actually what I would like to do
is I'd like to cut across the street in
just a moment but let's keep going down
here the sidewalk is nice and big so Dan
doesn't fall on his
face these people over here they were
our old neighbors and they used to have
talking about music they used to play
music on their lawn out front and just
the neighbors would come over and listen
it's quite nice do you remember this
house they're always doing construction
on it do construction they painted it
like four different times and it looks
like they're still painting it um I
don't know if anyone actually lives
there but certainly seems like an
expensive Endeavor all right we are
coming to the end of the sidewalk let's
see if we can cross the street we'll go
past the old apartment building we used
to live in and and you will see one of
the most exciting houses in all of
Asheville in my opinion so let's see if
we can cross the street there she go all
right let's go over here we're going to
go down the street away from the grocery
stores and this is a lovely apartment
complex uh this is where we used to live
we don't live there
anymore in the US a lot of apartment
buildings are new as in they were built
within the last 30 or 40 years but this
building is over 100 years old I think
the 1920s which for the US is pretty old
all right are you ready for something
very exciting it is coming up right here
some might call this an Eclectic
house this is where a guy named Jesse
used to live when we lived in this
apartment building I'd come down here
and he was always sitting on his front
porch around his most precious
possessions do you know what these
lovely things are called Windchimes so
Windchimes have those little metal poles
and they clang and dangle in the wind
well when people heard that he liked
Windchimes he started collecting so many
of them that now the entire front is
covered with Windchimes I think it's
pretty exciting it's not what I would
want at my house but I think it's pretty
exciting and it's kind of one of those
things that gives your city a little bit
of excitement and flare right um because
as we walk let's talk about it
woo so I want to tell tell you about the
two different types of people that live
in Asheville one are the people who have
lived here forever like Jesse they have
these older style houses and the second
are people like
this who build either a fancy gigantic
new house and they've moved from
somewhere else and you know what for us
I haven't lived in Asheville forever so
I'm technically part of the second group
we moved here we are not Asheville
natives but you know what it's something
that is our new home this is where we
live now so um there's still some empty
lots I guess nobody lives here in this
special lot at the moment um but there's
other houses these houses have probably
been here for a while and uh because
it's the middle of winter there's
scraggly grass nothing is very green
well there's some green grass I guess
depending on your
perspective um in the US we have these
big trash bins that we use to collect
trash and recycling and on certain days
the trash collector will come and you
you wheel them we use that verb to wheel
we wheel the bin to the road and the
trash collector comes and dumps it into
the back of the trash or recycling bin
we never sort recycling in North
Carolina it's just everything in one
recycling bin glass paper anything like
that it's all just in one spot oh you
have to look over here and see this
amazing tree isn't this tree so cool has
this giant bulbous I think it's probably
not healthy because of that giant bulb
I'm not sure but this tree is so
magnificent especially in the springtime
with all of the leaves and I love that
it's on the hillside so cool I love
those little things in a city all right
let's go down here we are actually going
to cross the street here now there's no
Street crossing so we're going to have
to just be careful uh maybe technically
it's jaywalking but in the US people
don't care I just have to be careful
that nobody hits my baby let's take a
look no one's coming let's
go so here we're going to go down the
street and cross what's called Five
Points this is the Five Points
neighborhood in Asheville and that means
there's five different roads going into
it and we are going to attempt to cross
the street without Dan smashing himself
and recording at the same time let's I
appreciate how hard this is let's give
it a try got to push the button I don't
actually know which one goes where I
think this one is for here I just pushed
both of
them uh and we're going to cross the
street but we have to wait
for the hand to turn GRE green or the
little man little walking man to be over
there all right I always try to look
even though the signal says it's okay in
the US we always do right left right at
least that's what I was taught as a kid
right left
right right now we're walking along
Broadway which is one of the main
streets wow you hear that
Hawk I love hearing Falcons Birds of
Prey it's always so exciting um so we
are heading towards the greenway and the
greenway is an area that has no houses
on either side it's just a public almost
like a park but it's just a sidewalk
going straight through a na Natural Area
so we are walking down one of the main
streets in order to get to that green
way let's go all right before we cross
the street and go into the the green way
I wanted to show you this lovely iron
fence back here is a little creek and
the neighborhood behind me is called
Montford it's one of the historic
neighborhoods of Asheville there's a lot
of big older houses and when I say older
I mean older for the us if you're from
Europe and there's houses from the 1300s
well it's not that old here but for the
US it's old and I feel like the US
doesn't really do a good job of
preserving historical places so when
there are historical places to see in
the US it's kind of special all right
let's cross the street and go to the
greenway there is indeed a little
crosswalk here so hopefully it's
okay and this area a lot of people jog
here um I used to go for a run here when
we lived in this neighborhood it is
really popular for walking dogs uh just
for going for a walk but there is one
thing that probably I wouldn't go here
after dark still that might just be my
own personal preference but it does feel
a little bit like there might be
sketchiness after dark so I generally
try
to just do those types of things
especially where you're not near other
people like this is somewhat isolated
especially other parts of the greenway
you're kind of isolated from the
neighborhoods and whatnot I don't really
want to be there after dark alone or
with my baby but in the daytime this is
a great place to go for a
walk thank you for going on a walk with
me well unfortunately life is not just
uh easy walks through the park sometimes
we have to do work and that work might
mean taking care of a baby so join me
and my baby as I walk you through all of
the important steps Expressions ideas
for taking care of a baby in English
let's watch I put on my usual mom
clothes number one thing I need to do is
pull back my hair because babies are
perfect at grabbing things especially my
baby right now she is really good at
grabbing everything including my hair so
I would never wear my hair down with my
baby she would just grab it so going to
have a slightly different look today but
that's all right all right to get
started I see my baby this is my baby
monitor screen I see my baby is starting
to wiggle a little bit she's waking up
from her nap so let's go in get her from
her nap and take care of her together in
English let's do it all right let's go
into the room and get her from her nap
let's
go I'm going to turn
off the sound machine that helps her to
sleep I'm going to open the curtains
give morning
baby let some light in here and we can
go over to her little bassinet where she
sleeps I see a sweet
baby you see that sweet baby in there
good morning sweet
baby how was your
nap you can see that she's wrapped in
this swaddle and that's because she's
not extremely mobile yet when she gets
to be more mobile when she can stand up
when she can um roll over consistently
I'll take those straps off of her arms
so that she doesn't get hurt but in
general for now she sleeps in this
swaddle and it keeps her nice and safe
because one of the important things that
you need to do with your baby is keep
your baby safe and to do that you are at
least in the US the idea is that you're
not supposed to let your baby sleep with
blankets but your baby might get cold at
night so we use these zippable sleep
sacks it's very much um in fashion in
the US to use this because it won't get
over their face and suffocate them but
they can still stay stay nice and warm
all right you ready to get up sweetie
let's do do it when I get my baby from
her nap I usually check her diaper and I
see if she needs to change her clothes
at all sometimes her clothes are a
little bit wet I don't know
why so I might need to change her
clothes but right now she seems okay and
just ready to wake up so we're going to
go over to the changing station and I'll
show you where that is and we'll talk
about changing a baby's diaper huh let's
go so in my room I have this little
changing station area and it's really
just the top of my drawers but this is a
changing pad and it's just a nice little
thing to put your baby on when you
change their diaper and she's very
excited about reaching things right now
it don't roll off yet uh and here I have
diapers these are disposable diapers but
some people choose to use cloth diapers
and I also have some wipes and these are
what I use if her diaper is really messy
and it's useful to be able to use those
types of things um up here are just some
little cute knickknacks that people have
given her as little gifts because I
don't have a nursery instead all of my
three children when they were babies
they slept in my bedroom and this is
just well it started because we didn't
have a spare room to put our baby in but
now that we have more rooms in our house
it's just because it feels good to sleep
in the same room as your baby I would
say for the first year um that's
something that we choose to do I don't
know if there is a right or wrong answer
for this but this is just something that
we choose to do ah you got a diaper
success all right I'm going to change
her diaper and then I'll show you next
what I do to take care of her so before
I leave the bedroom hey before I leave
the bedroom I want to show you two
different spots that are essential for
taking care of a baby one of those you
can see here is a chair this is the
chair that I Ed to nurse Matilda that's
my baby and I use this chair because
look at something great that it does
when I sit in the chair you know what
this chair is yeah you do this chair
oh it's called a glider it's not a
rocking chair because it doesn't Rock
instead it just Glides back and forth
there's no pinching parts for children
to get their fingers stuck in oh yeah
you just want to grab that phone
huh and it's perfect for nursing it's
really useful to rock your baby to sleep
um I also have all of our baby books set
up here so that we can grab a baby book
we haven't really read her her many baby
books at this age hey she is 8 months
old now we've read her a couple baby
books but she's more interested in just
all the other things in our house at the
moment more interested in chewing the
books at this time so the other station
that I want to show you before we leave
the bedroom is this spot I'm going to
put put her over here let's see do you
want to play with a little uh Toy yeah
I'm going to give her a little toy to
play with you want to play with that
little
toy
hi okay we'll let her play with that toy
while I show you uh this is where we
keep um our baby's
clothes
there's these which now that it's winter
time she wears all the time maybe some
people would say it's a little bit lazy
but when you're a mom you know you
sometimes have to take shortcuts to make
your life easier this is what she's
wearing now and it has feet so we call
this footed pajamas footed pajamas
sometimes for children we call these PJs
or jammies or nides there's a lot of
different terms for these but in the
winter it's so convenient her feet are
warm her whole body is covered so I keep
those in a little box and when it gets
warm someday soon hopefully she has some
special little um
adorable adorable outfits that people
have given her that are up here and
there are a lot of onesies so this is
called a onesie and even though there's
an S it sounds like a z one Z and at the
bottom it snaps and this is really
convenient because you can just unsnap
it their belly stays covered and warm
but it's great for the summertime which
it's not right
now um down here I have some extra items
like little sun hats there are um for
girls I have two boys this is my only
girl so there are some items some
clothing items that we got from other
people that I had never used before
because I had boys but when you have a
girl people give you things like this
this is called a diaper cover so you
could put them in a cute little dress
but you don't want to see their diaper
or maybe you don't want their diaper to
get dirty so you can put them in a
diaper cover and there are so many
different types that people gave me I
think they're
adorable so we're going to go with it um
I think that's all that I wanted to show
you here so let's go on into the other
room where we'll get to the next section
which is feeding your baby food so maybe
you're going to be um around in the US
around 6 months old you start to feed
your baby food so let's go into the
other room and we'll talk about the
different ways that you can feed your
baby all right while we talk about food
I'm going to put my daughter in her high
chair we have a little high chair with a
detachable tray it's very handy and I'm
going to put on her bib now you might
have a bib that just is around the neck
but for us we have always used these
full cover bibs because babies get food
everywhere it's not just on their front
they get it on their sleeves on their
lap so this covers everything and you're
ready to
go so I have prepared here for her a few
finger foods and for us we have always
chosen to just give would you like some
Tangerine there you go give our kids the
food that we eat instead of purchasing
little jars of pre-made food um so I
just cut up tangerines I have some toast
with some cheese on it very
exciting and this is what I eat for
lunch so I want her to get used to the
same taste that I have um this specific
type of you want some
bread this specific type of method is
called Baby Le weaning but some people
prefer to give their kids I'll give you
a couple here you go prefer to give
their kids purees so that's what it's
called when it's in a little can or a
little jar or maybe you make the purees
yourself at home um but let's talk about
what happens before for that because
Matilda is now 8 months old and she
didn't start eating solid food which is
what we call this you start eating solid
food around 6 months old she didn't
start eating solid food right away when
she was born she exclusively drank milk
and that's how all babies are and
there's a couple different ways that you
can drink milk so let's talk about that
vocabulary you could exclusively
breastfeed
you could
exclusively bottle feed and when you
give your baby a bottle exclusively
we're assuming that it's uh with formula
the powder that you mix up or you could
do a mix so usually we call that
supplementing with formula so if you are
breastfeeding and you're giving your
baby formula you would say I'm
breastfeeding but I supplement with
formula I think there is no perfect way
to uh to feed a hungry baby if your
baby's hungry and a way is not working
you try another way until your baby is
fed um for my babies I have been able to
exclusively breast feed them and I feel
really lucky that it has worked for me
and that's not the case for everyone so
in this situation we would say you do
you and take care of your baby but right
now I am breastfeeding her and I'm
giving her solid food so that she can
try out different tastes and practice
her chewing skills you want that whole
plate
peekaboo
[Music]
peekaboo
peekaboo little sweetie so while we're
here let's talk about some different
words that you can use to describe your
baby it's possible on one end of the
Spectrum you might have a really fussy
baby that means that your baby just
cries all the time no matter what you do
you're feeding your baby your baby's
trying to sleep you're carrying your
baby you're loving your baby and your
baby is still crying why this is
sometimes your baby's temperament it's
not going to be their long-term
personality it's just how your baby is
as a baby um I'm not a psychologist but
um we could say that your baby is really
fussy H it's so hard now every baby is
fussy sometimes because that's how
babies communicate right they
communicate by crying when they don't
know how to talk yet um on the other end
of the spectrum we have a really easy
baby can you guess which one Matilda
is she has not made a peep yet she is a
really really easy baby are you a really
easy
baby absolutely now she is my third baby
and I've heard a lot of people say that
third fourth fifth children are really
easy and it's partly her temperament and
it's partly probably my skill when I had
my first child I had no idea what I was
doing so I was just winging it we could
say I was winging it meaning I was just
trying anything that I could I had no
idea what I was doing but now with our
third child um both me and my husband
are much more experienced and we know
what we're doing now so she's a very
easy baby or we could say she's
easygoing extremely easygoing sometimes
she's fussy so if she has a hard day
maybe she's developing in some way
something is changing in
her you trying to reach for some more
food here you
go then we might say she's having a
fussy day or she is fussy this morning
it doesn't mean that her entire
temperament is always fussy it just
means right now she's fussy before we go
I want to show you a couple other items
that are really useful for taking care
of a baby and keeping a baby safe and
close and loved so down here in every
single one of the outlets in my house we
have this kind of protector can you tell
it was Valentine's Day
recently we have this kind of protector
and this is an outlet protector um and
it is for baby proofing the house so
this is a term that we use especially
when your baby starts to become mobile
and right now probably by the time you
watch this video Matilda will be
crawling and moving around a lot she's
so close right now so we we have covered
all of our Outlets so that she doesn't
accidentally pick up something metal and
put it in there that would be terrible
so this is a really oh there goes her
plate this is a really simple way to
Baby proof another thing that we do to
Baby proof is that we try to keep all
sharp objects away from the edge of the
counter so all of our knives scissors
Forks everything in the kitchen or
around our house we take take it and
push it back away from the edge of the
counter in fact if you're a mom maybe
you do this but sometimes when I go to
other people's houses and they've been
chopping something and there's a knife
close by I just automatically push it
back away from the edge it's true my
children might grab it even my older
children they might not know or be
thinking about it but it's kind of an
instinct after you have been taking care
of children for a while you're always
thinking about how you can can make the
area safer for kids um you can see here
we have our children's plates and bowls
accessible so that the older children so
that they can take them whenever they
want all right let's go take a look at
the doorway because there's a couple
items in the doorway I want to show you
here is my baby carrier I think I have a
picture of me with her in this I'll put
that picture right here so this is
extremely useful I use this like four
times every day and I put Matilda in
this on the front I put her in this on
my back and whenever I go out in the
yard or if I'm going for a walk or if
we're going for a hike or my arms are
just tired and I want to carry her but
my arms are too tired I put her in the
carrier so if you're looking to purchase
something like this I highly recommend
it this one is I think I think Lily baby
this a great great brand you can wear
them on the front or the back this is
called a baby carrier and the verb that
we use is baby wearing I am wearing my
baby just like I'm wearing the sweater
right now I'm wearing my baby uh there's
something else I'd like to show you
that's
outside so I don't always wear my baby
my arms and my shoulders need a break so
I also have a stroller this stroller is
great for walking for running and for
just easily putting my baby in here to
get her around and go places so it's
possible that you might have a stroller
some people I think a long time ago
called this a baby carriage I'm not sure
if other English-speaking countries call
this a carriage but in the US we call it
a stroller this is a stroller because I
stroll my baby around in it it's the
verb to stroll I stroll my baby in the
stroller sometimes I say I'm going to
take her for a walk in the stroller a
walk in the stroller that's what I would
say all right before we go let's go back
in and check on her and say goodbye
let's talk about baby language because I
think this is something that a lot of
you have reached out to me about and
said Vanessa I'm a new mom and I want to
speak in English with my baby but I
don't know how the first thing is to
just choose a couple phrases that you
use in your native language often with
your baby and use them in English so if
you say good morning baby or how are you
doing this morning and using that cute
little voice hi baby are you hungry do
you want some more
food those sweet little phrases that you
use in your native language do not have
to be complicated these are just
extremely simple
Expressions when you say it's time to
wake up it's time to go it's time time
to take a bath it's time to have
breakfast you can use those same phrases
again and again and it's just slowly
introducing language to your baby but
there's
something there's something that I read
that will help your baby to improve
their language skills more than anything
else and I want to share that with you
but first I'm going to get my baby some
more food because she dropped her whole
plate on the
floor so I read that the latest studies
about
how babies can become more verbal and
that's what we use when we say that a
child is verbal it means they are really
good at just using language they don't
just use Simple language they're able to
make sentences they're able to use
somewhat complex words a child is verbal
we might say he was verbal before other
children or I really hope that my child
is extremely verbal because I love
having conversations and that's a really
important part of our faith family so
this is what the study said it said the
key to helping your child have more
vocabulary to knowing more and to being
more verbal in general is not to use big
words with them it's not that you need
to constantly speak to them the key is
this you need to respond when they make
any kind of vocalizations so just a
minute ago she went
ah when you turn towards your child and
pretend like they're telling you
something important when they make those
vocalizations and you say oh really oh
you make any kind of verbal connection
yes I'm listening to you yes that
verbalization is important then they'll
keep doing it when you affirm those
types of actions when they're
speaking Yeah just like
that then they're getting the signal
speaking and making noise with my mouth
is important in families that responded
to their babies by affirming what they
said those children had double the
amount of vocabulary as children who
didn't have any kind of caretaker
responding to their vocalizations so
first of all this is a pretty easy thing
to do but also it's kind of not if
you're really busy so I have three kids
my two older kids are very verbal
they're always making noise they're
always doing something that's demanding
my attention but when she's making noise
and she's talking she's trying to
vocalize and I can spend time with her
and pay attention to her I always try to
respond in some way it seems so simple
when she just makes a sound and I say oh
really that is making a difference it's
helping her to learn that language
matters language is important and I
should keep making
sounds so if you want to do this in
English you can you're just encouraging
your child that making sounds with their
mouth is important especially if they're
a small baby and as they get older and
they're introduced to other languages
that will just be part of their life
