Did you know? Your tongue is a speed machine!

It can make up to 5 movements per second during fluent speech, faster than a professional athlete’s reflexes!

This tiny muscle is a speech superhero, helping to shape sounds and words at lightning speed.

✨ Fun Fact Friday ✨

When you speak, your soft palate lifts to block air from escaping through your nose.
If it doesn’t? That’s when hypernasal speech can happen - kind of like talking with a cold! 🤧

#9 Give Your Child Plenty of Time to Respond
It might feel natural to jump in when your child pauses, but sometimes… silence is golden!
Preschoolers can take up to 20 seconds to process a question and respond, and that’s completely okay.

#8 Offer Choices to Your Child✨

Instead of yes/no questions, try offering simple choices like:

“Do you want water or juice?”

Why? Giving your child options helps them practice expressive language and also builds confidence!
