When your mom is a speech therapist 😛😅… here’s a super simple activity you can try with your little ones!
✨ Important Notes:
• There’s no age requirement for this type of play (cause-and-effect). If you’re both having fun, the play is boosting brain development.
• Kids can feel your energy. When you’re engaged, they’re more likely to be engaged too.
• Bilingualism is a superpower! Don’t let anyone tell you speaking two languages causes delays. It does not. 💛
🎒 For this activity you’ll need:
• You
• Your baby
• A Jack-in-the-Box or any cause-and-effect toy
• Coffee or an energy drink to hype you up (just kidding… kind of 😆)
But seriously — you’ll need presence, no screens, and genuine enjoyment.
💛 What we’re supporting:
• Engagement: Back-and-forth interactions built through predictability. These routines have a clear beginning, middle, and end — which helps little ones stay involved.
• Versatile words: We pair baby signs with spoken words to make language less abstract. You model repeated, simple, consistent language with zero pressure on your child to perform.
Keep it fun, keep it light, and keep talking to your kids 💛😍
