When we quiz kids, we’re often testing what they already know and adding pressure.
When we model, we’re teaching them what language can sounds like without pressuring them.
Models communication means:
🎄Saying the words for your child instead of asking them to perform
🎄Talking about what they’re doing, seeing, or feeling
🎄Repeating useful phrases over and over in everyday routines
❌Instead of:
“Say cookie”
“What color is it?”
“What’s this?”
✅Try modeling:
“More cookie!”
“Red car go!”
“You’re building a big tower”
Kids learn through exposure and connection, not pressure.
Your voice is the model, not the test!
