Super fun ways to help kids overcome Speech Delay!
Wheels on the bus goes…. Round and round……
One of the most favorite rhymes in any preschool classroom. Singing shouldn’t be restricted to classrooms, it should be encouraged at home and anywhere you see transportation vehicles. I am often approached by new parents whose child has a slightly delayed speech. I work with them personally and give them the ideas and inputs to engage their child into conversation. Here are some fun ways to help your late talker to talk by using props. I have always observed that children love playing with push and pull toys like cars, trucks, trains, boats, etc. Let’s see how these toys can help your child with speech.
Kids will learn language best when you follow their lead and play how they are playing. It can be tempting to direct the play; I suggest you join in their play and engage them in conversation. Start using simple easy to pronounce words rather than too many words or phrases. Stick to only one language in the beginning. Introduce one word at a time.?
When you are following your child’s lead, talk about what they are doing using short, simple phrases. Focus on useful words rather than colors and numbers. It’s more important for your toddler to learn names of objects and actions when they are first learning to talk. Here’s an example of what you may say when narrating your child’s play.
When you are narrating, you may want to make sure you give your child an opportunity to respond! Think of it as a conversation rather than a monologue. Even if your child isn’t talking yet, he might respond? by looking at you, making a gesture or a sound. Waiting gives him an opportunity to take a turn in the interaction and a chance to attempt a word or sound if they are ready.
There are so many words you can target in car play! Pick one or two words to repeat throughout the interaction.?
Example:?
Nouns: Car, door, truck, wheel
Concepts: up, down, big, fast, small, slow?
Verbs: stop, go, open, close, crash

A great way of getting involved in your child’s play is to copy their actions and sounds. Get your own car and do what they do. When your child goes up the ramp , take your car up the ramp too. Make all those silly noises your child does. When you copy your child they are more likely to copy you as you are their role model.?
Happy Parenting!!!?
