💗LIKE & SAVE this post if you need tips on how to get your little one to imitate sounds/words.
Children are more likely to imitate words/sounds when we take the pressure off of them AND when we make it FUN! With that said, it’s important to use statements/comments rather than “quizzing” your child.
Imagine you’re a toddler, and you’re constantly asked questions like:
“What is it? What color is it? What does it do? What is it called? Can you tell me? Can you say it? “
That can be extremely OVERWHELMING, even for adults!
With that said, turn your questions into COMMENTS and STATEMENTS.
I’ve included 6 scenarios to show you how you can get your toddler to engage/imitate more.
Don’t feel discouraged if your child doesn’t imitate a word/sound right away. Oftentimes, children need a TON of EXPOSURE! So if you feel like you’re sounding like a broken record, repeating the same words/sounds throughout the day, then you’re doing it right. :)
Keep in mind even if a child may say a word once, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will say it again immediately after. You may still need to model it for them.
💬What are some words or sounds your toddler likes to say? Comment below!

Routines! Relationships! Rituals!
Great Article from our Friends @ Zero to Three .... "The Importance of Routines for Kids" by Dr. Erika Bocknek, Educational Psychology, Wayne State University
“Only the family, society’s smallest unit, can change and yet maintain enough continuity to rear children who will not be ‘strangers in a strange land,’ who will be rooted firmly enough to grow and adapt.” Salvador Minuchin, a famous family therapy scholar
