Fostering speech and language development with your child at home can be fun, engaging, and a terrific way to enhance your bond. These are just a few of our options.
Stay in touch with your child
Even though it may appear obvious, parents rarely do this. Although we generally understand what our children say, we should encourage them to be more specific in their requests and supply the words they seek. Furthermore, even for young toddlers, spending time singing, speaking, and encouraging imitation sounds and motions is a great place to start.
To your child, read
There are numerous benefits of reading to and with your children. They can learn new words, concepts, story structures, and creative ideas. Choose books with extensive illustrations and soft covers for young children. These pictures will keep the child engaged while you read, and they may even urge them to participate with the book, such as touching the "That's Not My Teddy's" soft toy. As your children grow older, you can introduce them to nursery rhymes and other rhythmic literature. Predictable novels are also a good choice because they teach your child to predict what will happen next and may help them to start memorising their favourite books.
Use normal circumstances
You may help your youngster expand their vocabulary by talking to them throughout the day. Clients have told me that they frequently believe their "life narrator" is telling a dreary story. Even in uninteresting moments, your youngster can learn a lot of information. For example, by recognising familiar meals, you can label each item in your supermarket basket and invite your child to join. You might also talk about how you cook and clean at home. Your child's vocabulary will expand significantly if you point out the sights and sounds you hear while out and about.
