👨👩👧👦 Parenting with Purpose: Build Speech & Language Every Day! 🧠💬
At Ring Therapy Services, we believe YOU are your child’s first and most powerful teacher. 🙌
Want to support your child’s communication skills at home? Start with these simple, meaningful habits:
🟠 1. Positive Reinforcement
Celebrate even the smallest words, gestures, or sounds!
💬 “You said ‘more’ — great job telling me!”
🌟 The more we recognize effort, the more kids want to keep communicating!
🔵 2. Consistent Routines
Predictable routines (meals, bedtime, cleanup) create structure AND language opportunities.
💡 Use the same words daily: “All done,” “Time to eat,” “Brush teeth!”
🟢 3. Open Communication
Talk with your child, not just to them. Pause. Wait. Let them respond in their own way — with words, sounds, gestures, or expressions.
💬 “Hmm... I wonder what we should do next?”
🟡 4. Set Boundaries with Words
Use clear, calm language to model how to express needs and feelings.
✋ “You’re upset. Let’s say, ‘I need help,’ instead of hitting.”
🟣 5. Lead by Example
Your child watches and listens to YOU. Use rich, expressive language, make eye contact, and show them that communication is about connection.
👀 “I see your blocks fell! Let’s fix it together!”
✨ You don’t need a degree in speech therapy to help your child thrive — just intentional moments and a whole lot of love. 💛
