Tools for talking - 0 to 3 year olds

4 February 2022 (by Tracy Cottam (TCottam))

Try playing a copying game together. You could try asking your child to copy you clapping, dancing, making animal noises - get inventive!

Practicing taking turns when copying helps your child to learn the back and forth rhythm of conversations.

Encourage your child to take turns in copying - you can have a go copying them first, and then let your child have a go at copying you.

Remember to wait a little for your child to respond and copy you.

Let your child take the lead when it's their turn and copy their actions back to them.

Here is a link to a very useful website with lots of ideas for you to try at home with your child
