Children can usually:
- Understand about 10 words.
- Respond to their name.
- Recognise greetings and gestures, such as ‘hi’ and ‘bye-bye’.
- Recognise a few familiar people and objects (e.g., mummy, blankie, teddy).
- Make eye contact.
When it comes to speaking, children can usually:
- Start to use sounds, gestures, and say a few words.
- Continue to babble.
- Copy different sounds and noises.
Tip:
When you talk to me, WAIT for me to respond before you say more.
