Waiting is a part of life. Do you wait in line at the store, at a doctor’s office, or for a ride? While you’re waiting, pretend you’re a newscaster. Using your pretend microphone, ask your child questions: “What do you see? Who else is here? What do you think is going to happen next?”
See what your child is learning
Giving your child a chance to tell the news provides them a chance to look at what is happening around them and put it into words. They’re learning to be an effective communicator. There’s nothing like a pretend microphone to get someone talking!
