Some things to think about when talking/spending time together with younger children:

Talk about what you’re doing as you carry out everyday tasks like making lunch/dinner, washing up etc.

Point out all of the things you see around you when you’re out at the park, on the way to school, at the supermarket etc.

Look at your child when you and they are talking – it shows that you are interested in what they have to say.

If your child says something incorrectly instead of correcting, say it back in the correct way.
