Your toddler feels the same when you’re asking him too many
questions! “What’s that? Who’s this? Where’s daddy? What’s the dog
say?” Sound familiar?
Toddlers don’t like being constantly quizzed and put on the spot,
and it actually tends to limit verbalizations and stop interactions.
Try this instead… For every 1 question you ask, make 3 related
comments to reduce pressure and keep your interaction going!

#2 - STOP SAYING, “SAY ___________”
Remember the days when your mom would nag at you, constantly
telling you what to do?
Your toddler feels the same when you put pressure on them to talk.
Does this sound familiar? Toddlers don’t like being under pressure
to talk. You can reduce this pressure by eliminating the word “SAY”.

#3 - STOP STEALING COMMUNICATION
OPPORTUNITIES FROM YOUR CHILD
Have you ever flown first class? We have only once and it was
amazing! You don’t need to ask for anything. Blanket and pillows are
handed to you and food and drinks are delivered to you on a platter.
This is how your toddler feels when you anticipate their every need
by giving them what they want before they have an opportunity to
ask for it.

LANGUAGE TOO SOON
Here’s a task for you… Call up a friend and try to have a
conversation with them using only letter names, numbers, colors
and shapes.

#5 - STOP EXPECTING TOO MUCH, TOO SOON
Remember when you first met your spouse? Did you start planning
your wedding the day after your first date? Probably not! Building a
relationship takes time and usually follows a sequence.
So, if your child is at one level, your goal is to work to get them to
the next level.
