Communication response game
6–12 mesiEmotional WellbeingNessun materiale necessario
When your child makes sounds, gestures, or expressions, respond as if they've said something important. If they point, follow their point and describe what they see. If they babble, reply in your regular voice as if continuing a conversation. If they reach for something, acknowledge: "You want the ball." This shows their attempts to communicate have real impact and meaning.

Perché funziona
Responding to your child's attempts at communication helps them experience themselves as effective communicators whose expressions matter. This builds agency and purposefulness. Adults with clearly defined purposes show 20% higher mental resilience (Duckworth et al., 2005), and these foundations begin with infants learning their communications create meaningful responses from caregivers.
Consigli per i genitori
Pause after you respond, giving them space to "reply" back. This creates real turn-taking.
Treat every communication attempt as meaningful, even if you're not sure what they mean. Your responsiveness is what matters.
