They may get frustrated easily because they can\u2019t communicate their feelings, needs or ideas, or because they have a hard time retelling events. It may be difficult for them to play with peers. When they start school, tasks like answering questions, talking about what they\u2019ve learned, and creating and writing stories can be challenging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ways to Support Your Baby\u2019s Expressive Language Development<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nurture His Receptive Language<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/great-start.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Understanding-the-30-Million-Word-Gap.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Research shows<\/a>\u00a0that the more words a child hears during the first years of his life, the better his vocabulary and other language skills will be at age 3. Here are some great tips for promoting his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/18\/supporting-receptive-language-skills-during-baby-toddler-hood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">receptive language skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Model Speech<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen your little one sees a car and says \u201cca,\u201d you can say \u201cyes, that\u2019s a car,\u201d stressing the \u201cr\u201d at the end. When he begins to form sentences, they will be short and grammatically incorrect. He may say, \u201cMe want cup,\u201d and you can respond by modeling: \u201cI want my cup, too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Play Imitation Games<\/strong><br \/>\nImitating your baby\u2019s speech sounds is a great way to motivate him to practice expressive language. Chances are if he babbles \u201cba!\u201d and you say \u201cba!\u201d back, he\u2019ll keep going. When he starts to say words, you can use imitation to model correct pronunciation. He will love imitating the lyrics and hand motions of songs like The Itsy Bitsy Spider, which also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/babysparks.com\/2017\/06\/16\/what-is-executive-function-how-can-i-nurture-it-in-my-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">support his executive functioning skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask Questions and Give Prompts<\/strong><br \/>\nTouch your nose and say, \u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d Or ask your little one what sounds different animals make. If you know he can say a word, prompt him by making the first sound. For example, if he\u2019s gesturing towards his cup, you can point at it and say, \u201cCuuu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offer Choices<\/strong><br \/>\nChoices like \u201cDo you want an apple or a banana?\u201d at mealtime, or \u201cIs this a cat or a dog?\u201d during playtime build vocabulary and encourage labeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create Fill-In-The-Blank Games<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen your baby is familiar with a song, leave out a word here and there so he can jump in and fill in the blank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give Him Opportunities<\/strong><br \/>\nEven when he\u2019s just five months old and reaching for a toy beyond his fingers, you can give him an opportunity to communicate by not jumping in immediately to help. Giving him a chance to vocalize that he wants the toy before you push it within his reach reinforces that he can use expressive language to get his needs met.<\/p>\n<p>If you browse the speech section of our BabySparks program, you will find dozens of instructional videos showing you fun ways to use these strategies with your baby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day your teenager will debate you on the logic of your rules, using words, facial expressions and gestures to communicate his thoughts, feelings and ideas.
