What can help my sons Speech/Vocabulary?

  • My son is 29 months old and I was wondering of activities or certain toys or any ideas on How to help his Vocabulary?

  • Answer:

    Talk to him all the time, it doesn't matter what its about. He'll take in everything he hears. When you're doing something (hoovering, cooking whatever) tell him about it. Flash cards, make a game of it with him and he'll love it. These also help with reading (if you get the ones with the words on them) when the time comes to learn that. Read books with him, discuss the pictures. Point to things and tell him what they are. If he only likes 2-3 books for a few weeks then chnges to another 2-3 then its all the better. Sing songs with him. Alphabet toys are also a good thing. Not the ones that just sing the alphabet but ones that say 'A is for Apple' and the like. When you're out with him point to things and tell him what they are. Basically its all about repetition. Kids love it and it helps them learn best. If you find he wants the same book read all the time or watches the same thing over and over this is good. The more a child see's something the more they recognize. Learning at such a young age is mostly about memory and memory comes into it a lot when they start learning to read also.

Just go to the zoo, the park, etc. and play with him. You can spend all the money you want on videos and toys but the best things to teach him are his daily interactions with you. Go through books with him and point at all the different pictures, telling him what the colors and the different things are. Ask him to point to this or point to that, etc. Go to the zoo and tell him about the different animals. Talk to him just like you would talk to anybody else. We may not necessarily use large, rarely used words around a young child, because we want it to be easy for them to understand, but at the same time you want to be talking around him in grammatically correct, easy to understand sentences. He can more than likely understand a lot more than you think he can. It typically takes at least 6 months from the time a toddler comprehends a word until the time that they can say that word.

Your son doesn't have an issue with speech. But keep talking to him like an Adult, no baby talk, explain what you are doing as you do it.

Talking to him and explaining what things are I think is the best way
