Try a sound hunt around the room, sort familiar objects by their first sound, stretch a word slowly, or make silly rhymes together. A few cheerful minutes can be more useful than a long, pressured session.
Keep it playful and brief
Follow your child’s attention, celebrate effort and stop before frustration takes over. The goal is to make another attempt feel inviting.
