One word. One BIG win.
Yesterday, my younger toddler had a traffic cone on his head as a “hat.” 😄
A few weeks ago, he would have become frustrated when it fell off.
Instead, he looked at his dad and said:
“Help.”
We’ve been working on that one simple word because I want him to know he can ask for help instead of becoming upset.
As both a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist and a toddler mom, moments like this remind me that communication isn’t about using big words—it’s about having the words you need.
That’s one of the reasons I created Everyday Language Adventures: Daily Routines.
👕 Getting dressed
🚗 Car rides
🍽️ Mealtime
🛁 Bath time
🌙 Bedtime
These everyday moments are some of the best opportunities to model simple, meaningful words like help, more, up, open, and all done.
