Helping your child to talk

How can I help my toddler learn to talk?
How can I help my child communicate?
How can I teach my toddler about truth and falsehood?

(Written by experts in childcare and author Penelope Leach )

Babies have an intrinsic interest in human voices and a natural tendency to listen and concentrate when you are talking about. You can rely on what you've done when your child was a baby. How can I help my toddler learn to talk? Talk as much and as often as you can for your toddler. Try some of these conversations just between you and him. If you talk, or reading, for him and a big sister, your child will not be as much repetition and explain that he can use, and as much as he will if he is alone with you. Watch it while you talk. Let him see your face and your gestures. Let your child see what you mean, by matching what you do what you say. "Off with your shirt," you say, taking it on the head: "Now your shoes", delete them. Let your child see what you feel by combining what you say to your facial expressions. This is not the age for teasing (what age?). If you give him a big hug saying, "Who is the mother of the monster so horrible Grubby?" Confuse you. Your face is saying "Who is the mother of the boy beautiful?" Help your child understand all of your communication, it is not whether it includes your exact words or not. If you cook something, put plates on the table and then take your hand, saying: "It is now lunch time." He understands that his dinner is ready and will include a high chair. It may not having heard the words "lunch time now" without those other cues to go with them. He will learn the meaning of the words themselves through understanding them, again and again, in contexts useful. Share the excitement, emotion and emphasis, if you talk about a flood of love for your child or a flock of rare birds in the sky, these are the qualities of expression that captures and keep his attention and motivate them to try to understand what you are saying. How can I help my child communicate? Advertising Help your child understand that everyone is communication. If you cat away from you, without waiting for an answer or research if you wish, or if you do not bother to reply when he or another family member speak, it is bound to impression that the words are just meaningless sounds. You do not sound like a background noise. If you want the radio on all day, try to keep it to music, unless you are really listening. If you listen, let him see that you have received a communication of voice, he can not see. Act as your toddler the interpreter. You will find much easier to understand its language, to foreigners, and it would be easier to understand, you and other "special" only to understand the unknown people. How can I teach my toddler about truth and falsehood? May your child learn new words and use them properly, but it May miss the subtle meanings of these words for adults. He can not understand the concept of a promise, for example. However, in May he use this word. If you give him five more minutes to play, if he promises to come directly to bed afterwards, he will be happy to say "promise". However, the word is nothing but a label. After five minutes, he wants another five. He can not understand the criticism of your voice as you say, "but you promised." The words are often more harm to the truth, too. May your child be fluent enough to the problem of accusations and denials of time before their accuracy means something to him. He speaks as he feels. It might have been the dog that made the puddle: he wishes and it was said he was. During a quarrel with his sister, he falls and hurts his knee. He says it has pushed - that it did not. But if it did not hurt his knee, it has its bad feelings. He said a feeling of truth that just happens to be different from adults truth. As it develops, you will be able to demonstrate the value of promises made thoughtful and reliable detainees; of truth (in general) said, and is (almost) avoided. But it is too early. Do not corner with concepts that can not understand. He did his best to please, but if nothing less than child standards can you please, it will fail.
