Talking at home â talking in class.
At home, kids feel safe, supported, and unpressured.
In class, the stakes feel higher: more people, less time, more pressure to get words âjust right.â
For many kids, this isnât shyness, itâs a language formulation challenge. Their brain knows the answer, but it takes extra time to organize thoughts into clear sentences.
đĄ What helps:
đ Practicing âthink timeâ at home
đ˛ Turn-taking games where they explain steps
đ Story cards or comics to practice organizing thoughts before speaking
