DID YOU KNOW? Your
toddler should be able to say or repeat
200 words
by 2
years old?
We have been working on
language skills in our classroom and helping the children learn the words to
use to let us know what they need or want. They have been very receptive to
this, and we would love it if you could help with this at home as well!
"You can’t
MAKE a child talk, but you can make them WANT to talk!"
Here are
a few suggestions:
**Try not
to talk for your child, encourage them to tell you what they need. If you know what they want, give them the
words to use.
**Put
things out of reach or into boxes they can see through. They will then have to ask for what they
want. They may throw a little tantrum or
start screaming for the items during this time, yet if you stay strong they
will eventually tell what they need.
**Praise
them when they do use their words! High
fives, hugs, or just a “thank you for using your words, now I know what you
want!”
Read, Read, Read & Sing, Sing, Sing!
If you would like more suggestions or would like to know what verbage we are using in the classroom, feel free to email me!
Communication is one of the keys to your child's success!
