When your child shows you something that they are interested in and you describe what it is, you're helping them link the words they hear to what you are looking at together.
A simple way of doing this is to walk your little one around the house and talk about all the objects that grab their attention.
How describing what they're interested in helps your child
It helps them to:
- Hear the language they will need to talk about what interests them. This will help them learn words more quickly
- Link the words they hear to what’s happening and understand their meanings
Walking your little one around the house is a great way for you to see what they're interested in. Talk about and describe it… just like a football commentator.
