Reminders of Parents

For good speech and language...

• Talk to your child. Talk about what you are doing, what you see, what your child is doing, and what your child sees.
• Take time to listen to your child. Respond to what is said so your child knows you have been listening.
• Don't push your child to learn to talk. Accept some speech mistakes as your child develops. Don't ask your child to slow down or repeat.
• Have your child's hearing tested if your find you have to repeat yourself a lot or have to talk loudly to get your child's attention.
• Seek professional help if you're unsure. Never wait to get help for your child if you suspect a problem. You know more about your child than anyone.
