I hope that in my town, there is people who is totally like you.. fine & loving attitude of yours make me feel comfortable to listen to you and I believe my son too.. My son is 27months old and only has 2words but his understanding about his surroundings and not to mention him imitating is incredibly good since he is very young less than a year.. But, when its time to imitate making sound of words or so he always shake his head

[@fortunere6050]

My son speech therapist was so bad, she just didn't want to help him and I had stopped the therapy with her. My son is doing so much better as I work with him. I wish he had someone like you. Thank you for your clear advice.

What a great ball and you are a wonderful teacher

[@mattesyl33]

Thank you ❣️

[@breanaselayaartiga3754]

You’re right. If I don’t get my child’s attention, can’t really teach her much.

[@Mia-in5ck]

Very helpful thank you

[@BirthingBravelyandBeyond]

This is so incredibly helpful. I will try this particular toy in next week's session with my late-talking ASD client!!!

[@wanguimatiru5940]

Very educative. Thanks alot.

[@sadafnoreen8420]

you talk so well😍

[@thefraudproofceo]

The best video I've seen about this so far

[@teachmetotalk]

Thank you so much! Attention really is the gate-keeper for every skill we teach children --- and it certainly includes language and learning to talk! If you haven't already, please check out more of our resources at teachmetotalk.com!

Trying to teach my 2 year old to talk thank you for this video 🙏🏼

[@sauceyreject5371]

Has this helped? I'm trying to get my son to talk as well.

[@hannahscott6604]

Go “wheeeeeee!!!!!! It’s moving!!!!!” As you pry it open hahah

[@BirthingBravelyandBeyond]

Also, I just want to say that your work is so inspiring to me! I am in the early stages of my speech journey -- I have been working as an SLPA for about 6 years now specializing in early language in toddlers and preschool children and I absolutely love it! I am working towards studying for my Master's (there are very limited opportunities for this in Canada so I am looking at the US or Australia), and I am a KZbinr, so my dream is to create videos, a website, and therapy materials as well as parent training opportunities. Everything you do in your work is so inspiring to me. I would love to pick your brain one day via email if you ever had the time. Thank you for everything you do, you have helped so many! All the best --Bailey

[@jodianns.life.withkids]

Hey are you still practicing in Canada??

[@michiecortez1894]

I really appreciate this video simply because I have ADHD and mom wasn't always available to talk to and play with me. For this reason Im never comfortable communicating. I don't have any friends for this reason, I'm learning now. Thank you for showing me what I've missed! awesome video! 😘🥰😍

[@Ozzy121218]

I have a 2 year old daughter she says no and yay, that’s the only words I can get her to ever say she definitely has a quick attention span but she’s so smart she understands things but refuses to use any words any tips on how I can get her to want to speak?

[@niki_99]

I have a late talker (he's 18 months and says NOTHING) who has a very short attention span. I will try this, more tips like this please! :)

[@Aquemini616]

Any updates ?

[@niki_99]

@@Aquemini616 he actually has started saying like 3 words! I feel like he’s getting there. The biggest thing that helped was giving him options during routines that he was familiar with, where he already understands the vocab and knows what to expect. Which pajamas do you want, penguin or red? If I know without a doubt that he’s going to want one thing, I will play dumb. When I put on tv, I know he wants KZbin, so I’ll click around with the remote asking “do you want Netflix? Hulu?…” and purposely ignore KZbin and play dumb, he said “youtooo” one time and I’ve pushed for it ever since, it’s his most consistent. He also signs “more” a lot and once when I guess I didn’t see him he finally let out a “moooooww”. And “cookie” because he really wanted an Oreo. I feel like he’s on his way (slowly but surely) to talking soon.

[@fashionfreak7136]

where can i find the ball and this is great advice by the way

[@jeanmugabo9876]

Thank you for this video. I can't wait for the toy to ship and start with my set of twins. I have 2 questions. How can I use this techniques with twins? Should I take different time with each of them? How long should I spend per session using this toy? Thank you

[@TheYascenia511]

where can i get that ball from ?

[@rabeeaalvi710]

Hey Laura i love ur idea ... Laura my daughter learns words only when I sing them ..else she doesn't give much attention to normal conversation

[@mazhalaimozhi3986]

Me too facing the same problem. How s your child now sis.. is she talking well

[@umerubab4690]

Same with my son

[@angeliss.7967]

My son is kinda like that too when it's time for bed. İ think it's because it's calming for them and catches their attention better.

[@dr.kimberlyjackson]

Same with my daughter

[@wackenahayden6362]

Thank you for your advice im a mothee from Jamaica I have a four year old and I will try and put all your techniques together hopefully and I know that I can send you a video or text you about my sons update and thank you again for your advice

[@lisanelson2993]

Great video. Suggest not teaching putting things over children’s heads. Lots of good ideas here and cool toy 💚

[@starkieable]

I try to play with my daughter, but instead she would rather sit in my lap and cuddle. I love that she wants to cuddle but it can also be extremely frustrating when I'm trying to teach her to talk. 😕

[@calvinatdrifterstudio8438]

How is she talking now 🤣

[@dizkoteck]

Any updates?

[@starkieable]

My daughter now tries to say some thing's, such as pop, woof, doggie and more. She only started to try to speak a month before school was out for the summer, which kind of sucks since she is being transferred to another school closer to our home when school starts up again. I can only hope she does not regress, since it takes her a while to warm up to someone.

[@maridevipam1554]

I face this same problem .. with my autistic students ... intelligent one .. been teaching him since 3 years old .. could see drastic improvement... but .. when it comes to work ... he wants me to cuddle him hold his finger .. guide .. when I scold him .. he refuse to complete the work ... shows tantrums When I hug him .. he will start to calm down ... but the attention span is too shot .. what surprises me is .. he remembers many of the words better than other normal children 😀

[@sahelichowdhury7711]

@@maridevipam1554 can u plzz say me what are d symptoms of autistic child...?

[@snowywinters2536]

I kind of assume my sons late talking is due to his micro attention span. I feel like he would be talking a whole lot more if I could just hold his attention for longer than 10 to 15 seconds

[@SarahMJJ]

Same deal with my 3 year old daughter. She’s a hamster. Lol

[@dayanajimenez678]

My child is three and he knows his ABCs fully, also knows his numbers 1-15. He is motivated in the morning to do his lessons, but I noticed he gets tired really fast after 5 pages. I think he could be faster. But he's slow with talking.... he should be saying fuller sentences. His family on his fathers side all called him slow because they raised their first grandchild who was put in preschool and was already speaking by this age. It really made me angry that they would undermine my child, and compare him too his dad who has ADD. Also they call him.a bad child because his dad was labeled as the bad kid and say rude things like "its because of his genes," well i finally had it and took my son away from that environment. But how can I help my child talk more? Should I put him in preschool?

[@dayanajimenez678]

Also where can I order your books?

[@pogoclown9607]

Hey dont give up your child is doing good just motivate him teach him in small breaks and dont listen to anyone.your child can be future einstein if as a mother u stay strong

[@angeliss.7967]

Don't listen to anyone about your child. Your his mother and only you know what's best. Taking him away from that environment was a great first step. Just remember to be patient and have fun with him when teaching him to talk. Don't get mad or frustrated because that'll make him shy away even more from talking. Encourage him and shower him with love and he'll be ok.

[@Noahomars]

💓 love

Hi my 3 year old son can sing and recognize the alphabet shapes numbers and colors But still does'nt talk i'm so worried 😢

Hi! Does your child undergo therapy?

[@FlaviaMontenegro87]

Is he speacking now? I asked because my son is same, thanks

[@randaallal9969]

Same thing, please tell us how is he now. Mine only talks when he wants and he can surprise us with some hard words.

[@babyboohoo1189]

Hi can you please update my son songs songs and reads alphabet but won’t say words alone

[@janicedubroff3711]

Such a shame this video won't share

[@kohare2431]

Do you recommend also letting them watch ABC videos for learning? My son loves to watch it and I feel like hes soaking it in but not delivering. Hes only 2yrs old

[@letsgogoa9397]

Don't get your kid tv addiction of these you tube my son kept on watching these video which has affected his speech so please don't fall in the ABC tv trap

[@letsgogoa9397]

It's a one way conversion from TV so avoid

[@derpherpp]

That’s one part of the problem

[@melaniecarmichael]

Don't let them go into the virtual world but bring them more and more into the realy world.

[@Beckzmama]

This is my current issue my son is 2yrs old. He loves them video and I feel guilty for letting him watch it and he is now has a language delay.

[@rabeeaalvi710]

Hey Laura i love ur idea ... Laura my daughter learns words only when I sing them ..else she doesn't give much attention to normal conversation
