Child's work

Welcome back! Okay here are some ideas to do with the items I mentioned in my previous post. Barn/play house: First label animals in barn, rooms, people, items in playhouse. Then set up familiar play scenerios with the animals, people in the house. For example: The animals get food put out in a certain area and go there to eat and drink. Some social conversation between the animals as in greetings, asking how their day has been, comment on the food and water, maybe even have an animal that is a picky eater and complain about food choices. People in the house, dad can be vacuuming and dusting, mom is making dinner, children are cleaning their rooms. They all gather to eat dinner at the table. Provide dinner conversation modeling: how was your day-dad? Tell me one thing you did as school, son. Dinner is delicious. What is for dessert. Maybe some whining too! Lol make it realistic and pull from real life. Cars: Racing cars, give them human feelings and abilities. Watch the movie cars. The goal in these is to teach language! Both receptive: understanding of language and expressive: use of language. Children need repetition and neurotypical children will add to your play activities with bits of their personality as well as what they have in their language base. We also want to teach and use imagination. These skills are important for normal development. Exploring and experimenting with the people in their environment, practicing speech and learning language and social rules. More later!
