When your child says something, add to it gently. If they say 'big dog,' you might say 'Yes, that's a big brown dog.' You're showing interest, adding new words, and keeping the conversation going without correcting them.

Hoe doe je deze activiteit
When your child says something, add to it gently. If they say 'big dog,' you might say 'Yes, that's a big brown dog.' You're showing interest, adding new words, and keeping the conversation going without correcting them.
Waarom het werkt
Expanding on your child's utterances during the 24-36 month language explosion directly predicts later language and communication abilities. Research confirms that quality of interaction matters more than quantity of words, with 'conversational duets' being especially powerful for language learning (Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015). This responsive communication style also models the effective dialogue skills that support lifelong relationship quality (Hartos & Power, 2000).
Tips voor ouders
Add one or two new details to what they said.
Use an interested, warm tone rather than a teaching voice.
Do this naturally in conversation throughout the day.
