My brother didn't talk until 4 years no speech therapy no nothing. He has no issues he is a successful bussiness man and now we wish he would talk less 😂

Great tips. In summary...
Tip 1: Wait 5 seconds (and raise eyebrow, open mouth, or smile) after asking a question for them to feel encouraged, process what was said, and respond. 
Tip 2: Strategically place favorite items out of reach so they will have to ask (i.e. move from low shelf to high shelf)
Tip 3: When playing together, use onomatopoeia words such as bang, crash, vroom, chooga chooga.

This makes sense. When someone asks me a question in a different language, it takes me a minute to figure out what they said to me and find the proper words to respond

I think this gave me the answer why my 8 month old babbles more at his mum and granny than when playing with me. I might barely give him any time to respond to my talk :)
Thank you for this!

Thanks for another great video Emma. You are always so encouraging and positive.
I love using the fun words and was definitely the first words by toddler said.

It is interesting what you said about the low shelf. We follow Montessori, so we have most things at her level. However I do have her favourite book at a higher level and a sensory tray at a high level as she needs to be watched for that activity. We have also been doing this with food only putting a select number of foods in front of her and waiting for her to say more or show us she wants more.
Want to create a balance of promoting language but also giving her lots of freedom and yes spaces.
We have also found it helpful to have ' language baskets' on her low shelf. With a selection of say farm animals or vehicles which we then say the word. She has started to repeat some words.

This Video is pretty accurate. I'm a german Kindergarten teacher and we work the same way. Encouraging the children to talk instead of talking over them. I once had a training about this in regards of books. If you want to encourage your child in terms of talking the less text the better. And then do not explain what's in the pictures - just remain silent till the child starts speaking. The child also decides when to turn the pages. It's hard and feels weird at the beginning - especially when the child is not used to this and remains silent for quite a while as well. But after some time it will start talking and the more often you do this the more natural it becomes. The child talks and you just respond to it - that's how you engage in a conversation. There's also a variant with a flashlight that the child can hold to highlight what it sees and to make it more exciting

Hi Emma,
I just want to briefly say that I love watching your videos! I have followed your suggestions when it came to baby walkers, and I noticed the results when my daughter started taking her steps at 10 months old, and now she's a full-on walker at 12 months old.
I appreciate these current suggestions for communication, so I can help her develop her words and communicate back when she's ready ❤️

[beenarautela]

Thank you for all the wonderful tips you share with all. I really appreciate your efforts. It's really helpful.

Putting toys high on shelfs can incourage climbing too. Please be sure your furniture is fasten to walls to protect them from heavy furniture falling on them.

Thank you for your tips. My 20month year old understands quite a bit (he points to eyes, nose, ears, hands and some items / animals when asked) but only says very little. He does gesture and babble though. Really looking forward to him talking and walking. He was 2 months early and he is taking his time with both things...

my 9 m/o loves to scream a "hammmm" sound at me when we are eating together, he does this when he wants to drink or when he wants more. In Germany (not everyone) we eat bread in the morning and he gets some little squares and when he finished one he puts his arms in front of him and screams 🥹 Love it so much.
