You can’t force a flower to bloom—so why are we trying that with language?
Language isn’t built through pressure or repetition alone.
It grows from connection, shared smiles, being understood, and feeling safe with the people around us.
A child might be soaking it all in—watching, feeling, learning—long before they speak a single word.
Especially neurodivergent kids. They may understand before they can express. And if we’re only listening for the words, we’ll miss the real progress.
So before you count words… count the moments of connection.
🌟 That’s where communication really begins.
