Lesson Takeaways
Communication:
- Sometimes we miss some words our child said: we can be so involved trying to teach bye, but they said hi, and we missed it. No big deal, just notice it. Bring it up. Bring compliments.
- Find a word that creates action. Teach them skills that they can use that will automatically be rewarded in new environments. Peek a boo creates a game. What word can we reinforce? Don’t ever ignore a word, but think what will make their world move more?
Interaction:
- They’re communicators because they interact. Accept all gestures. Try different things and see where the spark is. Sneak in words, but the word is just not where the weight is.
- If too much questioning and talking, the game doesn’t take shape. In interaction you want to give shape
Bonding:
- Talk about how much you enjoy being together, love them, and that might turn into communication.
- If you don’t know what to do, bond, relax, be together
Spontaneous language:
- Usually most of the time, the words come later, it’s difficult in the middle of action to say the words
- Spontaneous language is easier than requested language. They’re learning in their rhythm.
