The language abilities of toddlers vary widely. Some two-year-olds speak in complete sentences while others are still using single words. Much of the variation is simply due to temperament and individual development, but a child's environment and adult stimulation can help these skills along. Here a some ideas to use with normal-developing toddlers and with older children who have delayed language skills:
-Call out action words for the child to follow: sit, jump, kneel, walk, stop, and so on.
-Sing action songs with your child-"Where is Thumbkin?", "Ring Around the Rosie," "London Bridge," "If You're Happy and You Know It," and so on. A favorite of my children was "Wheels on the Bus." I know I sang it hundreds of times with them! I am a big fan of incorporating music and language.
-Play hide and seek with objects. Let the child see you hide the object, then ask, "Where is ___?" and have him find it. Then hide the object without the child watching, but leave it partly exposed. Let him hide the object and ask you to find it. This will help him become familiar with new vocabulary.
-Make scrapbooks of different types of items-food, animals, action words, and so on, cutting pictures from magazines. Pages could also be made for adjectives-cold, smooth, pretty, etc. Older children can help with the cutting and/or gluing.
-Have the child follow two-part commands. "Turn around, then clap your hands." "Run to the kitchen and pick up a spoon." Then work up to three-part commands.
-Spread picture cards showing different categories across the table. Ask your child to "find all the things we eat" or "find all the animals."
-Require the child to use his best language when he wants something. "More." "Cookie, please." or "I want to read a story." Don't ever respond to points and grunts if the child is capable of more.
-Expand upon the child's utterances. If he says, "cookie," say "Want cookie, please." Just hearing the expanded form of his phrase will encourage him to expand it himself the next time.
-Teach body parts and pronouns by naming, "my nose," "your nose," and so on. Ask, "Whose neck is this?" Model the correct answer if this is difficult for the child.
-Talk to your child! Explain what you are doing. Explain his world to him. Have him help you with simple chores while you talk. Ask him questions.
Interaction with you is the very best gift you can give your child. Making small efforts throughout your day to enhance the quality of your language interaction will reap noticeable results in the quality of your child's speech and language skills.
