I have to admit that I did these things well with my older children who didn't have communication problems, but with my youngest who does, I have to remind myself to allow time for him to try to communicate. I have to remind myself to talk to him more because he doesn't ask questions about things or point at something wanting a label for it, thereby cueing me to say something. This is really helpful and I already forwarded it to my husband.Juliehttp://www.stlspecialneeds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-53779410018844845582012-04-17T10:12:00.847-04:002012-04-17T10:12:00.847-04:00All great tips and things that I think most parent...All great tips and things that I think most parents probably do without thinking about it. My only quibble with this is that it's skewed toward verbalization versus communication. Yes, I know, there's a brief mention of alternate means of communicating at the top of the article, but the language used throughout clearly is geared toward *talking*. Yes, I realize it's a matter of semantics, but it's an important distinction to draw. I admit, it's an issue I am sensitive to as a parent of a nonverbal eight year old who uses a speech-generating device. :-)Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-4754709538071180522012-04-17T08:31:42.924-04:002012-04-17T08:31:42.924-04:00With the exception of a few suggestons specific to...With the exception of a few suggestons specific to a speach delayed child, these suggestions are great for a parent of ANY child . I used most of them with both my kids, the one who spoke in sentances at 15 months and the one who said her first word at age 3.<br /><br />To many parents of kids speak for them. Even if a child is more than capable of speaking they do it. And most parents know the uselessness of asking a child what they did at school that day.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831580101168618303noreply@blogger.com
