What if your child is already using one ☝🏼 word utterances, but hasn’t yet combined words? ✌🏼 Try these simple tricks!

1️⃣ Follow their lead. This keeps children feeling confident and motivated to learn language and communicate. Be sure to get on their level. Let them initiate and send you a message about whatever they may be interested in. Respond to and expand their message.

2️⃣ Expand their phrases. If they give you one word, don’t just repeat that one word back. Be sure to add a word or two. For example, if your child says “dog.” You can say: “A little dog! Hi dog! Sit dog!”

3️⃣ Use a variety of different words. Be sure to teach and highlight other words other than nouns. Consider verbs (go, stop, push), adjectives (hot, cold, fast), and prepositions (out, in, on). These are all important for building sentences and developing grammar. When you are teaching new words, try using a parentese voice – speak slowly, exaggerate, and use a higher pitch! This helps the new words stand out!

4️⃣ Model two word phrase throughout the day. Talk to your child using two word phrases throughout the day as examples: “All done. Fast car. Yummy cookie. Bye daddy. More milk.”

Before your child starts combing words, there are a few things to remember that they should be doing first:
• Says ~50 words
• Uses a variety of different words
• Express two ideas using words along with a supplementary gesture to express two ideas (says momma while lifts his arms up in the air).
