Toddler Talk: Easily Encourage Your Toddler's Language Development With Our Tips & Techniques!
Are you concerned about your child’s language development? Do you have a family history of late talkers or language learning disorders and want ideas on prevention? Do you need new ways to encourage language learning easily throughout the day?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you have found the right book!
Language is a complex and exciting process that starts at birth, or even before! Learning how to communicate is a powerful and necessary skill for life. Language skills allow us to express ourselves, form relationships, make our wants and needs known, read, write, learn in school, enjoy life and much more.
Early language years, starting at birth, are crucial. Language skills build upon each other and areas of delay can cause learning, communicating, and/or behavior problems. Additionally, our speaking and listening skills are closely tied to our reading and writing abilities.
What’s different about this book?
Children are individuals with their own wants, needs, learning styles, and personalities. What works great for one child does not always work for the next. Therefore, I am not going to give you the one and only way to talk to your child.
Instead, I will teach you language learning strategies that speech language pathologists use during therapy sessions. You, the parent, have the freedom to pick and choose which strategies will work best for your child.
The techniques are designed to be used throughout the day, during all daily activities, to maximize language learning. They will help your child to develop expressive and receptive language skills without making it look like work.
Parents are Not Just Parents
From my years of experience, I know one thing to be certain - parents are not just parents. We are our children’s best teachers, therapists, and advocates. Parents may not be in experts in education, medicine, or speech therapy, but they are experts with regards to their children!
In this book, you will learn:
Bonus:
As a bonus, there is an extensive section dedicated to teaching how to best play with your child. For children, play is equally as important as eating, drinking and sleeping. Play is how our children develop language, reasoning skills, problem-solving skills, independence, confidence, motor skills, negation skills, sensory skills and much more! A great importance needs to be placed on play and you will learn how.
The author, Bridget Giraldo MS CCC-SLP, is a practicing, ASHA certified speech language pathologist with years of experience working with children, ages 0-13. She is dedicated to empowering parents with research based information. Parents possess the ability and the power to make a real difference. The only caveat is parents must be informed!
