Model — don’t correct.
When a child is learning to talk, hearing the correct model is far more effective than being corrected. Recasting their words in a natural way helps build confidence, language skills, and communication success.
Perfection isn’t the goal — connection and imitation are.
✨ Example:
Child: “Dog runned.”
Adult: “Yes! The dog ran fast!”
Small shifts = big progress 🤍
