Repetition

Help your child learn through repetition. Say a word over and over. Say it slowly and clearly. Use the word in a sentence. Say it again. Say it until you are blue in the face. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Children need a lot of repetition to learn. A child who is a late talker probably needs more repetition.

Here is an example of how to repeat during snack time:

Milk and cookies!

This milk is good.

Mmmm, cold milk.

Jack is drinking milk.

Will has milk.

Mommy has milk.

Milk!

I like milk.

Maybe your child will join in and say “milk”!
