The second of three talks by a paediatrician about the two-year-old.

Learning to Talk
The first of three talks by a speech therapist.
Many of the activities of young babies come to them instinctively, for example, sitting, crawling, and learning to walk. But although a baby may instinctively vary its crying according to its needs, it needs help if it is to learn to talk.

(Recording of items originally broadcast in 'Parents and Children' in Network Three)
