Preparing to talk
To help your child send messages with his body (gestures)
Try playing games that
use gestures.
Where’s your mouth?
This child is
learning that
pointing sends a
message.
Explain what different gestures mean.
Don’t just cry. If
you want to be
picked up, Barasa,
raise your arms
like this.
Good going, Barasa,
that’s it!
To prepare your child for learning to talk
Talk about any work or activities
you are doing and how you are
doing them.

Kam San. You can hear
the water splash when
it hits the floor.
