Activities that Improve Children's Language Skills

At this stage, you can choose to use as simple expressions as possible. If your child is 4+ years old, you can try pushing the limits of creativity and complex expressions. This is a matter determined partly by your child's language skills. The important thing is to reflect on his life to him with words that he can understand, relate to and remember. It is a very entertaining method not only for the child, but also for the parent.

• Include It in Your Daily Routine: Children, especially preschoolers, love adult behavior and imitating them. It is not a coincidence that they play adults in role-play games. Would you like to use this feature of your child to support them in the development of their language skills? How is it?

It's actually pretty simple. We know that children, especially those who are involved in multi-day activities such as home organization, cooking, shopping, and morning sports, develop in terms of self-confidence and social skills. So how will this benefit their linguistic development? All you have to do is to re-apply to your power from the first point, your storytelling. With it, you can turn a blanket folding activity into a great language learning activity. The important thing here is to try to make every topic you talk about clear to him with your hand and facial expressions.

"Now, shall we fold the red blanket over there? First, you hold these edges, and I'll hold it here. Now, let's fold these two edges together. That's it, now come towards me, come closer, a little more. Hooray, look, the blanket has shrunk! It's very nice." "Do you think we should put it on this part of the seat or on the other side? There? We agreed."

• Chat with Them: This method is more effective than you think, especially if your child does not speak clearly yet. You came home in the evening, he greeted you at the door with excitement, and told him about your whole day. Be specific, tell stories. Whether it's an interesting conversation you had with the taxi driver while you were in a taxi or the sourness of the cheese in the salad you ate for lunch, the more details you give, the better. Spend 6-7 minutes every day telling him about your day so that he can bond with you and strengthen his relationship with words.
  But let's say you're together all day, so much better! Hearing the day he witnessed from you before going to bed at night will give him great pleasure. Re-listening to your day, in which he was involved and a part of, will give you the opportunity to re-evaluate with him the situations that you want to transform in his behavior during the day.

• Sleep Stories: Let's get to our favorite. Sleep stories are undoubtedly one of the most beneficial activities to end a day. Imagination, emotional development, environmental knowledge... But most importantly, language development. At an early age, children's knowledge of language develops by hearing and imitating what they hear. Therefore, they should be exposed to language in as many different forms as possible. Moreover, the contribution of sleep stories to language development is beyond other activities, as a story they listen to before sleep, in the calmest moment of the day, will continue to be processed by the mind during sleep.
