Your child needs words to express his/her own ideas. He/she
will most easily use words that express the ideas in which
he/she is interested. When you pay attention to what your
child is doing and trying to say, you will be able to model
those words. Both of you will be more successful in your
conversations.
- Follow your child's interests - Listen
and Watch.
- Talk about what your child wants
to talk about.
- Pay attention to what
your child is paying attention to
- When you change the subject, help
your child change his/her focus with touch, eye contact,
gentle language.
- Use your voice to show
them you are interested
