Research He suggested that talking to children using different tones could help them with social interactions, giving youngsters the strength to learn how to communicate. Parents often use the so-called “baby voice” to talk to their children.

But there is another group of children’s voice users: husbands. Well, it may seem strange and even a bit cliched for two adults to talk in exaggerated tone and rhythms, but this is a global phenomenon.

At this point in life, no one else needs to learn to speak. Baby’s voice, used by at least two-thirds of lovers around the world, is here to show love and affection. At least, that’s what the impact theory created by researcher Corey Floyd says.

A loud voice, soft speech, and an exaggerated tone are specific vocal behaviors that indicate affection. Coincidentally, this is also the way adults talk to children. Some animals also fall victim to the soft vocalization adopted by their guardians.

But the story doesn’t stop there. Like to explain Ramesh Kaiba, Associate Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Oklahoma State University in the USA, a child’s voice creates a unique world for the couple.

Having their own way of communicating, whether using a high-pitched voice or calling their partner “sweetheart”, the couple isolate themselves from the rest of the world and the routine conversations of adults to introduce something that only belongs to the spouse.

This type of personal communication can be seen in romantic relationships or even intimate friendships. Even the creative names and nicknames given to animals, such as “Popcorn” or “Blackberry,” go into this story.

A child’s voice, above all else, is about bonding.
