Did you know that every time your child plays, they are actually expressing themselves?
In this episode of the Jellybean Expert Talk series, our paediatric speech pathologist Renee from Sound It Out Speech Pathology sits down with us to talk all about building interactions with your child through play.
And here is the thing most parents do not realise. Play is not just fun. It is one of the most important environments for your child’s speech and communication development.
Renee talks us through why play should always feel relaxed and pressure free for your child, and why that matters more than you think. When there is too much pressure on a child to perform or engage, it actually works against them.
She also busts one of the biggest myths parents carry around. That you need to constantly be doing something new, exciting and creative to keep your child engaged. The truth? The opposite is completely true. Familiar environments and familiar play give your child the confidence to expand on their own terms, add more words, and build that vocabulary naturally.
Because play looks different for every single child, and that is exactly the point.
Save this one if you have a little one at home because this series is full of the good stuff.
