☀️🎙️ The Speech and Language On the Go Podcast 🎙️☀️
In this episode, we’re diving into my top tip for encouraging your toddler to say new words! As parents, it’s second nature to anticipate our children’s needs—but did you know this could slow down their speech development? Today, I’ll share a simple, effective strategy called creating language opportunities to help your child practice and learn new words.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- The importance of modeling words instead of making language demands.
- Why withholding immediate access to items (like a cup or snack) can encourage communication.
- Real-life examples of how to gently guide your child toward using words.
- Tips for practicing this strategy in busy everyday life.
💡 Remember, it’s not about making your child frustrated—it’s about creating opportunities for growth!
