Developing Language Skills - Birth to 3

Use social routines to help your child develop and increase his/her language skills. Maintain daily routines during mealtime, bathtime and playtime in which you engage your child's participation. Label the objects used and actions that occur during these routines. Use applicable, simple utterances of only 1 and 2 words in length repetitively during the routines. Pause throughout the activity as if allowing your child to take his/her turn in the conversation. Do not ask your child to repeat or say the utterance you model. Just provide the opportunity for turn taking. Your child may take a nonverbal turn such as looking towards you or an object during the activity. That's okay. Eventually, he/she will begin to make sounds and even say a word applicable to the routine being engaged in.
