About this episode
Hey Friends~
When we talk to our kids, we use words that represent whole concepts all the time. We do it so spontaneously that it’s difficult to communicate without using such words. When our kids don’t have a good repertoire of concept - type words, it makes it difficult for them to do as told, express themselves, or deliver a message, accurately.
Today we discuss what concept words are, why they are important AND what you can do to increase understanding at home! This is the fun part! You don’t need flashcards. You don’t need apps. You already have everything you need to teach these words—just by playing, talking, and living life with your child. I am going to call attention to what you already have and know… so that you can be intentional when you are teaching them.
Always cheering you on!
