02.01.2022 5 Ways to Promote Talking in Your Little Ones! 1. Commentary: Speak to your baby as much as possible! Let them know why you're going food shopping, how you make dinner or even why you like a particular TV show. The more a child is exposed to language, the easier it’ll be for them to pick it up. 2. Ditching your ‘Baby Voice’: I know, I know.. I can’t help it, they’re so cute! All jokes aside, speaking to our little ones in our normal, grown up voice, will help teach them the n...ecessary speech sounds to create words and sentences later in life! 3. Reading lots of books: Reading to your children can not only be a fun activity but is SO helpful in the development of speech sounds. Pointing as you read the word and actively engaging in the story (like asking questions, commenting on the pictures) are useful tools also. 4. Sing your words or create little songs about your day. This can promote your child to want to join in or copy you! Making little movements to match the song is also a great idea to promote fine and gross motor skills! 5. Making talking fun! It’s no secret that our kids will want to participate in anything that seems fun or exciting. So why not make speech fun? Making funny sounds during play time, laughing, smiling or clapping when your child says a sound and playing ‘copy-cat’ are all great ways to make speech fun!
