West Berkshire Every Child a Talker
TALKING TIP OF THE MONTH
Encourage your child to communicate using any means possible
When children are able to communicate what they want and need, they are less likely to experience frustration. Communication gives a child some control over their world.
Children may point at something or reach for an item that they want. Some children use gestures or sounds. Children may progress to using words over time.
Accept all forms of communication. You can show your child the words they could use if they would like to, but don't ask them to copy you.
They will use the words only when they are ready to do so.
