🎶 “The cow on the farm says…” 🎶
This may look like playing with a farm, but so much communication is happening here!
Through familiar play and song routines, littles can practice:
👉🏾 Sharing attention
👉🏾 Taking turns
👉🏾 Imitating actions and sounds
👉🏾 Requesting and commenting
👉🏾 Following another person’s lead
👉🏾 Building flexible, back-and-forth interaction
✋🏾Some differences to that requiren a second look:
🔴 Limited interest in including another person
🔴 Rarely looking, pointing, or bringing toys to share
🔴 Difficulty taking turns in back-and-forth play
🔴 Limited imitation of actions, sounds, or pretend-play
🔴 Using toys in repetitive ways with little variation
