During bath time, engage in back-and-forth vocal play with your child. Pour water and describe what you're doing.

Comment faire cette activité
During bath time, engage in back-and-forth vocal play with your child. Pour water and describe what you're doing. When your child splashes or makes sounds, respond with words that acknowledge their action. Pause frequently to give your child chances to babble or gesture back to you. This routine becomes a predictable communication game.
Pourquoi ça marche
Bath time provides a consistent routine where communication patterns can develop through repetition. The predictable nature of bath time helps your child anticipate and participate in the interaction. Research shows that parent-child verbal interaction quality, particularly during routine activities, supports school readiness and long-term academic success (Parent Child Home Program, 2019). The serve-and-return pattern during this routine builds neural pathways for communication.
Conseils pour les parents
Use simple phrases like pour water or splash splash and repeat them each bath time.
Respond to your child's splashes and sounds as if they're part of the conversation. You made a big splash might follow their action.
Maintain eye contact when your child vocalizes to show you're listening and engaged.
