Language-building Tip for Parents

Boost your child’s language skills by embracing their early speech attempts. When they say “poon” for a spoon, simply respond with “Do you need a spoon?” This shows support without correction, helping them feel confident as they master correct pronunciations naturally over time. Language learning flourishes in this positive environment.
