| Toddlers practice the sounds and rhythms of language by “babbling”. Children learn to talk at different ages. They usually start by naming things: “Da-da, Ball, Doggie”. Then they learn social sayings, “No!, Bye-bye, Hi!” | Sit in a dark room with your toddler on your lap. Move a flashlight slowly around the room. Name the things the flashlight shines on. Give the flashlight to your child. Name the things she shines the light on. |
