New Video: Try These Words First!
Many children learn to communicate using sounds as first words:
• animal sounds (moo, woof)
• environmental sounds (vroom, beep)
• celebratory sounds (yay, uh oh)
These count as words when used independently and consistently!
💡 Why This Matters
Sounds are easier to imitate and more engaging than full words.
They help build:
• imitation skills
• vocabulary
• back-and-forth interaction
✨ Try This Today
• Say “uh oh” when something falls
• Add “beep-beep” to cars
• Use “yay!” + clapping during exciting moments
Start simple. That’s how communication begins 💛
