Being a parent is busy! The great thing is that you can support your child’ to understand, learn and use words while simply going about your normal day. Everyday routines and activities bring with them lots of opportunities for you to chat and interact with your child.
By talking about what you are doing and seeing with your child you are helping them to understand the words you are using and to move towards attempting these words when they are ready.
