Language at Mealtime
Take advantage of small moments throughout mealtime to talk to them about what you're doing. For example, "I'm warming up your oatmeal", "I'm putting your oatmeal in a bowl".
Take advantage of small moments throughout mealtime to including your child and invite them to help. Toddlers love to do whatever adults are doing. Talk them through your own actions and theirs, too. For example, "I'm holding a spoon. Can you hold a spoon, too? We are both holding a spoon."
