A. Hello mommy, Play ideas to encourage toddler talking Read with your child. Talk about the ordinary things you do each day – for example, 'I'm hanging these clothes to dry outside because it's a nice day'. Respond to and talk about your child's interests. ... Recite nursery rhymes and sing songs. ... Copy your child's attempts at words to encourage two-way conversation. Call your doctor if your child: by 12 months: isn't using gestures, such as pointing or waving bye-bye. by 18 months: prefers gestures over vocalizations to communicate. by 18 months: has trouble imitating sounds.
