10 Tips for Parents to Support Language
10 Tips for Parents to Support Language
Pay attention to body language, when a child is looking toward or reaching for something, they are communicating. Talk about what they are reaching for, “Oh, you want the bubbles!”
Avoid the “say this” tendency. Don’t pressure the child to speak; keeping the experience positive is important. Instead, model what the child might say when he/she is ready.
Take time to sit and read with your child every day. Label everything you see, and encourage them to point to the words and pictures as you talk about them. Books with repetitive lines are great.
Be playful. Sing songs. Use lots of inflection. With familiar songs, leave some of the words out and see if your child will hum or sing the words.
Provide limited choices when you aren’t sure what your child wants. Holding out 2 items, lessens the stress of having too many choices.
Talk with your child about what you are doing, then provide the opportunity for your child to reciprocate. “I’m making some cookies, do you want to help?”
Use first/then language to guide behavior, and then be consistent, “First you need to eat, then you can read.” Use this language even when moving between activities that are preferred or less preferred.
Use pictures: Take pictures of your child’s day and talk about what is coming up next, or make a photo album of fun activities (vacation, going out for ice cream) to talk about.
Remember language is everywhere, even if you child doesn’t understand everything you are saying, he or she needs the exposure. Car rides, walks outside, blowing bubbles are just a few examples. Describe what you see, and ask questions, e.g, “I see a cow. What does a cow say?”
Simplify your props. Sometimes the simplest toys can bring out the best language. Summer is full of such opportunities: A spinning toy, taking a turn kicking a ball, bubbles…all can support your child’s development, simply by talking to them.

**TOP 10 THINGS TO DO TO CELEBRATE STUTTERING AWARENESS WEEK** (from The Stuttering Foundation)
1. Watch a New Video: Know a person who stutters, a concerned mom or dad, or a school speech therapist? Ask them if they’ve seen our most recent video titled Kids Who Stutter: Parents Speak available online or in DVD format featuring proven tips from parents and hands-on speech-language pathologists.
2. Design a T-Shirt: At every convention we attend, and on our online store, we sell out of our T-Shirts regularly. Help us create a new design! Submit your ideas to info@stutteringhelp.org.
3. Sign Up for Social Media: Visit us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. Engage with thousands of others on topics around stuttering and fluency. Please engage with us on our social media channels and share our content. We love when people “Share” our Facebook posts on their page because it helps us reach more of the stuttering community. We also love when you “Retweet” us on Twitter.
4. Find a Referral: Wonder where to turn for help? The Stuttering Foundation offers referrals to therapists in the U.S. and around the world.
5. Share Your Child’s Art: In our newsletters and on our website, we often feature the drawings, letters and poems created by children who stutter. Please help children who stutter to understand they are not alone! Any child wishing to share their artwork with us can do so by sending it to info@stutteringhelp.org. Please include name, age, city and a permission letter from a parent.
6. Learn about a Famous Person Who Stutters: Learning about famous people who stutter helps us to understand we are not alone in our struggles with fluency. It provides hope and inspires our community with the knowledge that great things can be achieved by people who stutter. Read our ever-growing list of famous people who stutter.
7. Get Information: Visit your local public library and ask if they have resource materials on stuttering from the Stuttering Foundation. If they don’t shelve them, tell them they can get a set very easily by contacting info@stutteringhelp.org.
8. Sign up for our Newsletter: The Stuttering Foundation creates three newsletters each year – Winter, Summer and Fall – and sends a paper copy to everyone on our mailing list. If you wish to receive a copy, please send your mailing address to info@stutteringhelp.org.
9. Read a Book: There are many excellent books on stuttering. The Foundation offers several for free in E-book format. Many have been translated into other languages.
10. Listen Patiently: When talking with a person who stutters, avoid finishing their sentences unless they invite you to do so. Keep eye contact and be patient – many people who stutter just need a little extra time to finish their sentences. For more tips, see our brochure.
Fine Motor Activities
Fine Motor Activities
The following activities involve the use of manipulatives to support young children's fine
motor development, and will help to build the strength and dexterity necessary to hold a
pencil appropriately.
1. Mold and roll Play-Doh® into balls—using the palms of the hands facing each
other and with fingers curled slightly towards the palm.
2. Roll Play-Doh® into tiny balls (peas) using only the fingertips.
3. Use pegs or toothpicks to make designs in Play-Doh®.
4. Cut Play-Doh® with a plastic knife or with a pizza or tracing wheel by holding
the implement in a diagonal grasp.
5. Tear newspaper into strips and then crumple them into balls. Use the balls of
paper as stuffing for scarecrows, puppets, or other art projects.
6. Scrunch up one (1) sheet of newspaper in one hand—great for building
strength!
7. Pick up objects using large tweezers such as those found in the Bed Bugs®
game. This can be adapted by picking up Cheerios®, small cubes, small
marshmallows, pennies, etc., in counting games.
8. Shake dice by cupping the hands together, forming an empty air space
between the palms.
9. Use small-sized screwdrivers like those found in an erector set.
10.Use lacing and sewing activities such as stringing beads, Cheerios®,
macaroni, etc. Also, if available, plastic-coated string—S’getti String®—works
great with cut up drinking straws.
Sensory Activities
Sensory Activities
The following activities ought to be done frequently to increase large muscle strength
and endurance. These activities strengthen the child's awareness of his/her hands.
1. Wheelbarrow walking, crab walking
2. Clapping games (loud/quiet, on knees, together, etc.)
3. Catching (clapping) bubbles between hands
4. Draw in a tactile medium such as wet sand, salt, rice, or "goop.” Make "goop"
by adding colored water to cornstarch until you have a mixture similar in
consistency to toothpaste. The "drag" of this mixture provides feedback to the
muscle and joint receptors, thus facilitating visual motor control.
5. Pick out small objects like pegs, beads, coins, etc., from a tray of salt, sand,
rice, or putty. Try it with eyes closed too. This helps develop sensory
awareness in the hands.
