It\u2019s a large, busy family of six. The child\u2019s mother tells you that she has great intentions to play with her toddler, Jordan, but unfortunately she never gets enough time. She feels guilty because Jordan isn\u2019t talking and she knows that playing is so vital to his communication development.<\/p>\n<p>She asks you, \u201cWhat can I do during my daily routines to help develop his language?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a speech language pathologist and a working mother, I know it\u2019s hard to balance many responsibilities. Here are a few things I would suggest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Validate her feelings. Reassure her that while playing is very important to toddlers\u2019 development, there are many fun and interactive ways to facilitate language during daily routines.<\/li>\n<li>Pick a routine that just involves Jordan and his mom (e.g. getting dressed, brushing teeth, or changing his diaper). Since the household is very busy and hectic, it\u2019s possible that Jordan doesn\u2019t have much one on one time with a caregiver. These moments are so key because not only do they provide time for bonding but they\u2019re also opportunities for Jordan to listen to speech and language without interruption or competition from others. It\u2019s the quality of the moments that are meaningful. These daily routines may seem ordinary and mundane, but they are fantastic opportunities to share some quality time. If these frequent exchanges are thought of as enjoyable and special, then they\u2019re the perfect times to embed some intervention!<\/li>\n<li>NOW here comes the \u201cintervention!\u201d Actively and intentionally use the techniques of self talk and parallel talk. These are great techniques to start with when a child isn\u2019t talking. This is because they give the child exposure to language in real time experiences. This helps toddlers realize that talking is fun. <strong>When using self talk and parallel talk, you are NOT requiring the child to respond to or imitate what you are saying<\/strong>. If he happens to repeat you, that\u2019s wonderful, but please do not have the expectation that he is automatically going to imitate you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What is Self Talk and Parallel Talk?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Self Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a speech term that simply means <em>narrate your actions<\/em>. Talk about what you are doing, seeing, eating, touching, or thinking when the child is present. If you have chosen a routine such as changing his diaper, talk about it! For example, \u201cPoo Poo. I see poo poo!\u201d Remember to use words and phrases that are age appropriate. Since Jordan is non-verbal, it\u2019s not wise to give long-winded monologues. Keep it short and simple. Sound effects and silly words (e.g. stinky, poo poo, pee pee) are memorable and descriptive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parallel Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is another speech term and it\u2019s the sister of self talk. With parallel talk, you narrate what the child is doing. Talk about what the child is doing, seeing, eating, or touching. If Jordan is looking at a picture on the wall while you are changing him, talk about it. For example, \u201cYou see the picture. That\u2019s a pretty picture. The tree is so big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My biggest take-away is to remember that the <em>quality<\/em> of the interaction is the most important factor. I hope you have found this post helpful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can you help families\u00a0use self talk and parallel talk during\u00a0daily routines?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Kimberly Scanlon, M.A. CCC-SLP, is a speech language pathologist practicing in Bergen County, NJ.
