There are a lot of strategies we can use to get our little ones talking. Here’s an easy way to remember some of our favorite strategies! L-M-N-O-P! 💬🌟
* LABEL - limit test like questions and provide a label to what your child is looking at/interacting with instead. For example, instead of saying “what’s that?” Or “what color is it?” Try using “ball! It’s red!”
* MODEL- a lot of times our little ones need help knowing how to ask for something or advocate for themselves. We can help by offering a simple model. If you see your child is raising their arms up to be picked up, try modeling “up!” Or “pick me up!”
* NARRATE - narrating what you or your child is doing is a great way to start practicing early grammar and pairing actions with words to make words more meaningful! Next time you’re playing with playdog, try saying thinks like “I’m making a ball!” Or “you opened the playdoh!”
* OFER CHOICES - want to move past yes/no answers and encourage your child to use specific vocabulary? Try offering your child a choice between two toys, food items, etc. This is a great way to encourage verbal imitation, requesting, and autonomy! “Would you like milk or juice?”
* PAUSE - never underestimate the power of a pause! Offering a pause during an interaction can help “cue” your child that it’s their turn to communicate something. Try offering a pause in a verbal routine such as “ready, set…. Go!”

As pediatric therapists, we are always using play as a way to form connections with our clients and reach all sorts of therapy goals. So, why do we play? 🫧🛝🧸❤️🎨

1. Kids learn through play! Play encourages cognitive, social and physical development as well as greater independence and creativity.
2. Engaging in a fun, motivating activity that meets your child’s specific interests is the number one way to promote participation!
3. Play is highly varied, meaning it looks different to every kid. Paying attention to how your child plays helps us understand how to meet them where they are and connect them to their highest potential!
