Sometimes we ask children questions because we want them to talk.

"What color is that?"
"What is this?"
"Where's your shoe?"
"What did you do today?"

But if questions are difficult for your child, they can start to feel like a test.

Try commenting instead.

Instead of:

"What color is the car?"

Try:

"Red car!"

Instead of:

"What are you doing?"

Try:

"You're pushing the car!"

You're still giving them language.
You're just taking away the pressure to come up with the answer.

Have you noticed your child communicates differently when you comment instead of question?

Have you ever asked your child a question and gotten an answer that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with what you asked?

It can be confusing.

And frustrating.

But answering questions involves several communication skills at once.

Sometimes making the question simpler can help.

What kind of questions are hardest for your child?

Communication doesn't always sound like words.

For National Deaf Awareness Month, we're taking a moment to recognize the many ways children communicate and the importance of making sure they have a way to be understood.

For some children, that may mean spoken language.
For others, it may mean gestures, facial expressions, pictures, communication devices, or sign language.

And sometimes, communication looks like something as simple as pointing to the thing they want.

The important part isn't how a child communicates.
It's that they have a way to communicate.

Because every child deserves to be understood.
And every parent deserves the chance to understand their child a little better.

How does your child let you know what they need?

Tell us in the comments. We'd love to hear the different ways families communicate every day.

Did you know that pointing is a massive milestone in your child's communication journey? 👆🏽💬

Before little ones have the words to say "Look at that!" or "I want that," they use gestures to share their world with you. When your toddler points to an airplane in the sky or a toy on the shelf, they are initiating a conversation!

You can encourage this by responding enthusiastically: "You're right, I see the big airplane!" or "Do you want the red block?" Validating their gestures shows them that their communication matters. ✨

Between 18 months and 2 years old, your toddler's fine motor skills are exploding! They are working hard to coordinate the small muscles in their hands and fingers to interact with the world independently. 🛠️👶🏼

What fine motor milestones can you look out for around this stage?
🔶 Feeding themselves easily with a spoon or fork
🔶 Stacking a tower of 4 or more blocks
🔶 Turning book pages one or two at a time
🔶 Scribbling spontaneously with a crayon

Remember, every child grows at their own unique pace! If you want to encourage these skills at home, try inviting them to help unpeel a banana or practice sorting large buttons into a container. 🍌✨

Summer schedules can sometimes feel a bit chaotic. Missed naps, sudden travel, and hot weather can lead to big meltdowns and extra tantrums from your little ones.

If today feels overwhelming, take a deep breath and remind yourself: your toddler isn't giving you a hard time, they are having a hard time navigating their big feelings in a busy world. 🧡

Your patience, a gentle hug, and a calm voice are the safest places for them to land. You are doing a wonderful job, caregiver. You got this!

💡
Leaving the house or getting ready for bed can easily trigger a toddler meltdown.
Why? Because young children struggle with abrupt changes to their routine! ⏰

To make transitions smoother, try giving a "warning" before an activity ends.
🔶 "We are going to slide two more times, and then it's time to go to the car."
🔶 "When this song is over, we are going to wash our hands for dinner."

Using visual or physical cues (like a timer or counting down on your fingers) helps them prepare for what is coming next, reducing frustration and building trust! 🧡
