Limited opportunities to express themselves can be discouraging and may hinder their need to connect with others. Parents play a vital role by engaging in consistent communication with children who face speech differences. While therapy is essential, everyday conversations are equally important. Clinical Psychologist and Dyslexia Therapist Afshan Jabeen emphasizes the importance of using complete sentences rather than relying solely on gestures. Opening lines of communication helps build vocabulary, strengthen language skills, and nurture the inherent ability to communicate present in every child, regardless of developmental challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Feelings matter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if a child is not communicating, they still have thoughts and emotions to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When children cannot express their needs, feelings, or thoughts, they may show this frustration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may often manifest through behaviours such as withdrawal, tantrums, or resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These behaviours are not \u201cbad\u201d but signals that the child is struggling to connect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Supporting Communication:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engage in daily communication, not just during therapy sessions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build vocabulary through everyday conversations.
