Grown-Up Guide: Let’s Talk!
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 the sea.”
“The waves are coming onto the beach.”
“There are shells in the sand.”
👉 Then, depending on the age of your child, add one or more words:
“Gentle blue waves.”
“A smooth shiny shell.”
“A soft sandy beach.”
💬 3 questions to build language
“What can you see?”
“What is the sea doing?”
“What would you like to collect on the beach?”
If no answer
That’s okay — keep modelling:
“It is the sea.”
“The waves are moving.”
“I can see a shell.”
