When chatting with your child, it’s important that they see you having fun. This will encourage them to interact and communicate with you. The more you communicate together the more words and sentences they can learn.
Watch how this mum uses the intonation of her voice to get her daughter excited and engaged in a superhero game.
How using an interesting voice helps your child
It helps them to:
- Focus and listen to what you are saying
- Pick out important words that relate to what you're doing
- Have fun while they enjoy learning words and sentences
Superhero games can be great imaginative fun for both you and your child.
Encourage them to use their creativity with plenty of praise, a big smile and an excited tone.
Enjoy acting out some of their suggestions together.
