You know what’s mid? The way you’re building language skills in your child. Celebree School of Katy of Tamarron, however, is giving…Shakespeare. Rhyming songs, dramatic play, connection, theatrical emotional outbursts – it’s all at Celebree. We know how to use sounds, patterns, and play to encourage language development. We’ll share the outline with you. But if we’re sharing with you, you have to do what we teach the children – share with others. That’s the only way we’ll know you’re learning.
We listen, and we don’t judge… and we narrate!
Your child just wants to be seen! Don’t you want kids who grow up to share their lives with you? Well…start listening and showing that you’re paying attention. Narrate what they’re doing, saying, and feeling. They’ll eventually learn to hide their emotions in front of people. Don’t let that “people” be you, too! If you see your child crying because they didn’t get a cookie, say, “You’re sad because you expected to get a cookie. I’m hugging you because I get upset too when I don’t get what I want.” The next time your child shows you a few squiggles on paper, describe what you see: “You used the red crayon to make a line, and you used the blue marker to make a loop. You focused and made art!” Narrating play for language development focuses on your child’s language development in everyday things that interest them.
Let’s normalize reading daily for our kids
Listen, the only reason you’re able to get these tips is that you’re reading. This blog is teaching you something, it’s making you feel certain things, and you’re probably going to share this with someone because it’s relatable. That’s what books do too (captions from TV don’t count), and early literacy practices like reading will improve your baby’s speech. The benefits of reading to your child are endless! When you and your child bond through reading, it allows them to explore new words one-on-one with someone who cares deeply for them. Remember, you don’t have to go through the whole book in one sitting. Just be sure to point out things that are interesting to them, like, “’ Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?’ What do you think you’ll see? It’s looking to the right, so let’s flip the page together. Put your hand on this page and flip! Oh, you want to flip the pages? Let’s flip!”
Tell your kid to touch some grass with you
Get off the tablet and play. It’s truly that simple. Play with your kid. Sing some rhyming songs, do a puzzle, mix some pudding, take a walk, throw a ball. These are all language development activities! With play, they’ll learn patience, gratitude, and focus. These soft skills will allow your child to absorb their surroundings without distraction. When you slow down your life with play, you speed up your child’s neural connections. Play every day.
