When your child is ‘talking’, show that you’re listening by smiling and looking at your child. Also praise your child’s efforts to talk.
Leave time after you talk to give your child a chance to reply. Your child might not always have the right words, but they’ll still try to respond. This helps children learn about conversation.
Point to and name body parts, or make it into a game – for example, ‘Where is your mouth?’
