🎯 Weekly Communication Challenge

This week, try adding a pause before giving your child something they want. This is one of the MOST effective ways to encourage communication.

For example:

🥨 Hold the snack and wait

🚗 Hold the toy car and wait

🫧 Pause before blowing the bubbles

🎵 Pause before starting a favorite song

Then give your child a chance to communicate in their own way.

That might look like:

✓ Looking at you

✓ Reaching

✓ Pointing

✓ Making a sound

✓ Using a gesture

✓ Using a word

✨ Challenge: Try this strategy at least once each day this week.
