4 Fool-Proof Tips for Exploding Your Child's Language
4 Fool-Proof Tips for Exploding Your Child's Language
So your baby has invented a new language, which only YOU understand. Whilst this form of symbolic communication should be applauded, you wish baby could be understood by everyone. And the good news is, there is a simple strategy you could use to gently get your child to approximate his/her words better.
Modelling is when you combine all language stimulation techniques in order to provide your child with a good display (or model) of what they need to say or how they need to say it. At any given time, you as the parent/caregiver should model the correct form of a word or phrase and ensure you speak slowly and consciously.
If for example, your child is begging to sit on your lap/ or to be picked up. One, you could go ahead and pick them up or two, you could model what they should be saying, e.g. “up” before you picked them up. Or if your child mumbles/babbles whilst pointing to a banana, that’s your big chance to model the word “banana”.
When my first two children were beginning to talk at around 11-15 months, I shortened the word “banana” to “nana”; “water” to “wawa”; “thank you” to “ta”; etc. At the time, my husband was rather worried (more with the first child) because he imagined we were raising a child who would need us to teach the mature versions of her “baby talk”. But, if you’re like my husband, I say, “fear not”.

Hello.
My son is 2.5year old and he can’t even speak basic word like papa mumma. As we are in nuclear family I can’t make him go out in this time of covid.
His screen time is very very much I don’t know how to reduce it. Being alone how to make him speak.
Please explain.
This is the best I’ve found on here. Thanks!
Really liked the way u explained everything…I’m definitely going to try these tips and I shall let you know how it goes. Thank u
Coming across this now. So grateful
Thank you very muchfor your wonderful tips. I’m sure to try these tips for my son.
Really love the way you explain, easy to follow steps and straight to the point. My 4year old is yet to talk and i will apply what you teaching. Thank you.

Perfectly said! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ my son is 2 yo and isn’t speaking yet 😟 I think it’s my fault as I always give him everything and don’t wait for him to say, he is the boss of the house and this isn’t helping him!!!

Thanks for these useful tips! My 13 months old son usually takes my hand to touch things around the house and then, I would repeat what the item is. Is this signs of him learning what it is?
Hey I am an OT
watch videos of actual
faces with your child not cocomelon cgi
Sing repeat repeat face to face and make it a game make sounds and let your child watch and touch your face with the expectation your child gets a turn to make a sound
I have NEVER thought about ‘comfort’ being the hinderance for my child’s communication!
Thank you!
Thanks for these valuable informations !
My guess for the question : An 18 months old should be able to say 25-50 words.
