👋 Have you ever been excited to hear your child say a new word, only to notice they don’t use it in other places?
Don’t worry—this is completely normal!
It can take hundreds or even thousands of times for your child to hear and practice a word before they use it consistently.
If they’ve said it once, that’s a huge step! 🎉
But here’s the thing—they need practice in different settings to make it stick.
For example, your child might say a word during a speech session but not at home.
Or they might say it at your house but not at Grandma’s.
💡 What can you do?
- Practice the word in different places: at the park, in the car, or during playtime.
- Use it naturally in routines like meals, bath time, or storytime.
- Celebrate every small success! Each time they say it, they’re building confidence.
Remember, progress takes time—but with practice, your child will feel confident using their words anywhere. ❤️
