Helping to develop your child’s conversation skills #4

Conversation Practice:

• Support your child to tell you or another family member what they did in Talk Boost 1 this week.
• Praise your child for showing good listening skills in conversation with adults and other children (good sitting, good looking, and good thinking).
• Have a conversation with your child about something that interests them (e.g. their favourite food or game).
• Ask your child to think of nice things to say about their family and friends (e.g. “What do you like about your sister? When you play what does she do that is nice?” “She is good at running. She has a lovely smile. She is kind.”). Ask your child to tell that person the nice things they came up with.
