Thanks for understanding!
Give your child's communication a boostwith the following tips:
Talk
to your child about the obvious. Point out what you aredoing and what your child is doing. For young children youmight label simple object or familiar actions. For older childrenpoint out more abstract concepts like feelings
.
Build
on what your child is saying. Repeat or acknowledgewhat your child has said and expand on it. For example if ayoung child said, "Ball," you might say, "Red ball. You want thered ball."
Be quiet
sometimes. Allow your child time to respond to whatyou have said. Also allow them quiet time to experiment withsounds and sentences.
Read and Sing
to your child. Both activities provide wonderfulopportun
ities to learn new vocabulary and experiment withlanguage.
