10 words to practice in the snow ❄️

Snow days are full of built-in language opportunities.
You don’t need fancy toys—just follow your child’s lead and talk about what you’re doing together and what you see.

Try modeling words like:
snow, cold, wet, boots, hat, fall, push, throw, big, more

Children learn words best through real experiences, repetition, and shared attention—exactly what snow days give us 🤍

Enjoy the snow day! Comment with your experience and follow for more tips 💛

Children learn words best through play, action, and repetition 💛

Here are 10 words to practice while playing on the slide.

When you say a word during play, your child connects the word to the action or item.

👉 Find ways to incorporate these words into slide play
👉 Use them multiple times during the activity
👉 Have fun!

✨ Talking tip:
Your child doesn’t need to say the word back right away. Hearing it used meaningfully is how vocabulary grows.

Who doesn’t love a good story 😉

I had to use this fun, trending audio—it fits perfectly with my series this week on toddler speech development & intelligibility.

Those adorable sounds toddlers use are a real part of speech development—and they even have names:

• Babbling: strings of consonants and vowels (mamama, mabapa)
• Jargoning: speech-like sentences with adult rhythm, but not real words yet

Both are important building blocks on the way to clearer speech 🗣️✨

It’s tempting to repeat how toddlers say words—especially when it’s cute ☺️☕️

I know, it IS adorable—but repeating it back will only make that version stick around longer.

One small shift can really support toddler language development:

model the word back clearly and naturally, without asking them to repeat it.

Your child still feels understood, and they get to hear the accurate version over time—no pressure, no correction.

If you’ve ever felt like your toddler is speaking “gibberish”- you’re not alone.

Early speech isn’t meant to sound clear right away. Toddlers simplify words, leave sounds out, and use their own rules as they’re learning how speech and language work.

This is a normal part of speech development. Intelligibility grows over time with exposure, practice, and interaction.

This post is part of a short series on children’s speech intelligibility. Check out my other posts this week for more information.

I share practical, no-fluff speech and language tips for busy parents, rooted in real life—not perfect routines.

Because language grows in everyday moments. 💬
