If your child isn’t talking yet… start here 👇
These are first words to model (spoken + signs) that actually work
✨ “Power words” = words your child can use all day to get their wants and needs met
Think:
✔ more
✔ all done
✔ help
✔ open
✔ drink
✔ eat
✔ stop
✔ mine
✔ no
✔ mama / dada (to get your attention!)
Why these first?
Because they’re multi-functional and your child can use them across routines, not just in one situation
And when words work… kids are more motivated to use them 🙌
💡 Start by:
• picking 1–2 words your child would truly need
• modeling them during real moments (not drills)
• pairing signs + speech
• repeating them throughout the day
This is how you build meaningful communication from the start 🤍
