Exclamatory words are often some of the first words children use, and for good reason! 🎉
Words like “uh oh,” “wow,” “wee,” and “oops” are:
✨ short
✨ fun
✨ easy to imitate
✨ packed with meaning
They naturally pop up during play, meals, and daily routines, making them a powerful way to support early language, imitation, and connection.
Tip for parents: say them with excitement, pause, and give your child a chance to copy you. No pressure required đź’›
If you’re wondering how to encourage more communication through play and everyday moments, speech therapy can help.
