🚨 WAIT… THOSE COUNT AS WORDS?! 👀

If you’re counting your toddler’s words, don’t forget these 3 things!

🐮 Animal & vehicle sounds: “Moo,” “woof woof,” “vroom” and “beep beep” count when your toddler uses them meaningfully!

🗣️ Word approximations: “Wa-wa” for water or “ba” for ball count, even if the word isn’t pronounced perfectly.

🤟 Signs: Meaningful signs like “more,” “eat” and “help” count toward your toddler’s expressive vocabulary, too!

As a speech-language pathologist, I see parents underestimate their toddler’s vocabulary all the time because they’re only counting clearly spoken words.

✨ The key? Your toddler needs to use the sound, approximation or sign intentionally and consistently to communicate a meaning.

Save this for the next time you’re counting words, and send it to a parent who needs this reminder! 🫶

Parents are already messaging me that these tips are working and their toddlers are talking more after only one week!

As a speech-language pathologist, these are 5 simple strategies I want EVERY parent to know to help their toddler use more words:

✨ 1. Self-talk: Narrate what YOU are doing. “I’m cutting the banana!”

✨ 2. Parallel talk: Talk about what THEY are doing. “You’re building a tower!”

✨ 3. Expansion: Add 1–2 words to what your toddler says. “Dog!” → “Big dog!”

✨ 4. Expectant pauses: Give your toddler a few extra seconds to communicate instead of always jumping in.

✨ 5. Picture walks: Talk about the pictures in books instead of worrying about reading every word!

These little changes help you turn everyday routines and play into opportunities for language learning 🙌

SAVE this video so you can practice these strategies every day! And send it to a parent who needs these tips. 💕

✨ 5 Days, 5 Ways to Help Your Toddler Talk — Day 5 📚

Did you know you don’t actually have to read the words in a book to build your toddler’s language? 💬

Instead, try a Story Walk! Let your child flip through the pages and simply talk about what they see.

🐶 “Look! A dog!”
🚗 “The car is going FAST!”
😴 “Baby is sleeping. Shhh!”
🍎 “Yum! She’s eating an apple!”
😮 “Uh oh! He fell down!”

Follow what your child is interested in and use short, simple phrases to talk about it. If they skip a page? That’s okay! If they want to look at the same page 10 times? Also okay! ❤️

Books don’t have to be about finishing the story. They’re an amazing opportunity for connection, conversation, and language.

✨ SAVE this one for your next story time! And if you missed Days 1–4, go back and check out the rest of the series!

✨ 5 Days, 5 Ways to Help Your Toddler Talk — Day 4

Sometimes one of the best things you can do to encourage communication is… wait! ⏸️

Give your toddler a reason to communicate, then pause for a few seconds and look at them expectantly. 👀

🏎️ “Ready, set…” WAIT → “GO!”
🫧 Hold the bubbles closed and WAIT → “Open!” or “Bubbles!”
🥨 Give them one snack, then WAIT → “More!”
🎵 Pause during a favorite song and let them fill in the next word or sound!

And remember-a response doesn’t have to be a word! A sound, sign or a gesture is communication too. 💕

The goal isn’t to pressure them to talk. It’s to create an opportunity for them to initiate communication instead of us always anticipating what they need.

✨ SAVE this and try adding a few extra seconds of wait time today! Come back tomorrow for our final tip on Day 5 (my favorite!!)

✨ 5 Days, 5 Ways to Help Your Toddler Talk — Day 3

Your toddler gives you a word or short phrase…you make it just a little bit bigger! 💬

The trick? Add just 1–2 words to what they already said.

🐶 Child: “Dog!” → You: “Big dog!”
🍪 Child: “Cookie!” → You: “Want cookie!”
🚗 Child: “Car go!” → You: “Car goes fast!”
🫧 Child: “More!” → You: “More bubbles!”

And here’s the important part: you don’t need to ask them to repeat you! 🙌 You’re simply modeling the next step in language and giving them an example they can learn from.

Meet them where they are, then model just a little bit more. 💕

Parallel Talk!

Think of yourself as your toddler’s little play-by-play announcer. 🎙️

🚗 “You’re pushing the car! Go, go, go!”
🧱 “Blocks up, up, up…CRASH!”
🐶 “You found the dog! He’s running!”
🫧 “Pop! You popped the bubble!”

The key is to follow their lead and talk about what already has their attention. You’re giving them useful words that match exactly what they’re seeing and doing-without asking questions or expecting them to repeat you. 💕

✨ SAVE this and try it during play today! Come back tomorrow for Day 3!
