If you’re time poor, daily routines such as changing or bathing your child serve as the perfect opportunities to help your child connect what you’re saying with what you’re doing. This is especially true if you are careful to say the words at the exact moment that you perform the action.

If you say “arm in” as you put your child’s arm through the sleeve of a top then they will start to understand that action. Repetition is extremely important in developing your child’s language and speech - routines are a golden opportunity!

The number of interactions that we have with our kids matters so when you're talking with them, remember to take turns. The more turns they get to take the better.

❤️ It’s not the number of words that we say to our children that makes the difference – it’s the interactions between us.
So when you’re talking to your child, remember to sit back, and watch and listen and let them take their turn in the conversation.
Then you can take your turn and say something about whatever it is that they’re interested in ❤️
