🏠 Supporting Your Child at Home

Everyday Conversations

Talk all day! Speak things out, think out loud, detail what you see and talk about the interests and activities of your child.

Power of Listening

You should completely listen to both your child and the other party and you need to lower down to their eye level, wait until they complete what they want to say.

Ask Open-Ended Questions

In place of yes/no questions: "What did you enjoy today?" or "How did that make you feel?"

Reading Together Daily

Show pictures, ask prediction questions, draw parallels between pictures and their experiences, have them lead sometimes and reread favorites.

Songs, Rhymes, and Music

A combination of traditional nursery rhymes, action songs, counting songs, and constructing silly songs help to build listening skills, vocabulary, and memory.

Pretend Play

Play shops, doctors, house - use various voices, and talk through the things, and supply props.

✨ Be Responsive

Be responsive to the requests and interests of your child, encourage your child to express himself, and demonstrate that you are interested in what the child is doing.

⏰ Be Patient

Also, take time and wait to listen, also do not hurry or talk over and bear in mind that errors are part of learning.

🎉 Make It Fun

Keep the communication light-hearted and amusing, laugh and do not make conversations lessons.

🔄 Be Consistent

Little and often is better than intensive classes. Use language in everyday activities and make communication accompany all the activities.

💡 Good Communication Model

Use complete sentences, use new words in a natural manner, demonstrate excellent listening, and demonstrate enthusiasm in communication.
