• Say less

• Use single words or short phrases.
• Stress keywords.
• This helps your child to listen to and focus on the most important words.

• Slow down

• Speak more slowly. 
• Give your child time to respond and join in.

• Show them

• Give your child extra clues to understand your message. This could be using objects, toys, actions, pictures, symbols, pointing, gestures etc.  
• Show them how to do something first before expecting them to do it themselves.

• Give one instruction at a time

• Rather than saying “come on, time to go, get your shoes, coat and hat”.
• Trying “get your shoes”. Wait for them to do it and then give the next instruction “now get your coat”.
