Do you want to
play with the big
ball or the small
one, Rafael?
Ask questions that require
more than ‘yes’ or ‘no’
answers.
I fell in the
water.
Let your child take the lead
when you are talking. Talk
about what he wants to
talk about.
That must
have been
scary! What
happened?
When your child’s message is unclear, let him know. Sometimes, no
matter how hard you try, you cannot understand what your child is
trying to tell you.
You might try asking him:
Can you say it
another way?
Can you show me?
If you still cannot understand
what he is trying to tell you, let
him know.
I wish I could
understand
you, but I
can’t.
