Tips for talking

Here are a few of our top tips for talking that you could try when talking about things on the blog and having conversations with your child this week.

  • Give your child plenty of time. It takes children longer to reply than adults. Try to give them 7 seconds!

  • If a child says something inaccurately, acknowledge what they have said and repeat it back in the correct way.

  • Build up a child's sentences by repeating what they say and adding words.

  • Lots of questions can be daunting for some children. Try using more comments and less questions.


Keep up those conversations to boost your child's learning!
