Something to remember to help your child grow their language faster – Focus on interaction before speech and language. Interaction is the most important. Get the interaction…and then you get the language.
Interaction > Language
With that in mind, Jenny’s Clinic recommends toys that you can use to improve your interactions. Also, remember to use the Hanen interaction strategies such as OWL, Observe Wait & Listen and Face-to-Face with your child. Using these two strategies alone will change your interactions significantly. Ok, now to the toys!
