Practicing target words in context not only makes saying the word actually meaningful, it also makes it way more fun than drilling flashcards.

So you’re a parent and you don’t know how to play. You enjoy watching your child explore new things but aren’t sure how to join in.

Here’s my 3 tips for little kids:
1. Start with proximity. Sit on the floor with your child and get face-to-face. This in itself will encourage connection.
2. Make silly noises. Kids love sound effects! Pretend to make a doll sneeze, a cow moo or a tea pot whistle.
3. Imitate exactly how your child is playing. This shows them you “get it.”

To connect with your big kids I recommend:
1. Letting your child pick the game.
2. High fives for encouragement.
3. Making it a special “event” with popcorn, special drinks or pizza!

Yes, we should model “help please” or “I need help” in natural conversation (not drill, we’re not trying to make robots). But we also should model things like “I’ve got it” or “all by myself.” Kids should be able to protest and stand up for themselves and there’s lots of ways to model that appropriately in play!
