Here are some tips to help stimulate speech, language, and listening skills:
Talk, talk, talk! Talk about what you are doing and what your child is doing. Your child will learn to associate words you say with the actions, objects, and feelings you describe.
Be a good speech model. Speak clearly and naturally and use correct speech sounds.
Show your excitement. When you child vocalizes, imitates your mouth movements or sounds, or uses new words.
Give your child time to respond. After you talk, pause and give your child a chance to respond.
Ask Questions that require more than a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer when your child is developmentally ready.
