What to do
Sit together and look at the picture. Let your child lead — follow what they notice first.
You say it first (Copy + Add)
“I can see a doctor’s waiting room.”
“The child is waiting with a grown-up.”
“They are waiting for their appointment.”
👉 Then, depending on the age of your child, add one or more words:
“A friendly doctor.”
“A comfortable waiting room.”
“A helpful nurse.”
💬 3 questions to build language
“What can you see?”
“Who works at the doctor’s surgery?”
“How do doctors and nurses help us?”
If no answer
That’s okay — keep modelling:
“This is a doctor’s surgery.”
“The child is waiting.”
“The doctor helps people feel better.”
