Choose three ideas
Think of a place, a character and a sound. Add them to a story in turn. If your child responds with a movement rather than a word, follow that idea. You do not need a real basket or small objects.
Let the story pause
You do not need to finish when interest shifts. Return to the character another day or choose something different. Shared storytelling is a chance for connection rather than a test of the correct word.
Your next little step
Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
