✨ Simple Tips to Support Speech & Language at Home ✨
You don’t need fancy materials to help build communication skills…small everyday habits can make a big difference!
👀 Sit face-to-face so your child can watch your mouth and expressions.
👉 Gesture while you talk (pointing, showing, modeling mouth movements).
⏳ Pause and wait to give them time to respond. Silence helps processing!
🗣️ Model, don’t pressure. Repeat words clearly instead of asking them to “say it.”
📖 Narrate daily routines like meals, playtime, and errands.
🎉 Celebrate all communication: words, sounds, signs, gestures, AAC…it all counts!
Consistent, low-pressure interaction is key. You’re already your child’s most important communication partner 💛
