For many preschools, circle time is a regular activity. While it can provide a chance for wonder, engagement, and group participation, it often requires active listening and speaking - two skills that many of our late-talking children may not (yet) feel very confident about. As a result, circle time settings pose particular challenges for late talkers, often leading to challenging behavior or a reluctance to participate in the circle at all. In this episode of 'Late Talker Travel Notes,' we'll explore the topic of circle time and discuss considerations for children who may not be comfortable with it.
