Late Talker Tip: Supporting Imitation

My most recent post was for those wanting to support a little one’s pre-linguistic skills, or those worried about a late talker.

Let's chat more about this!

Imitation & modeling is everything, when it comes to learning to speak and communicate!

💡TIPS:

1️⃣ If your child seems “stuck” in a certain imitation stage, try modeling a bigger variety of skills around that stage.

For example: If they aren’t copying you tapping a drum, model other actions like putting toys in a container or stirring during pretend cooking.

2️⃣ If they aren't imitating you, try imitating them! Following their lead and copying their actions can boost connection and help imitation grow. 🌱
