Word-by-sentence output is not valid for every child. For some of our children, our main goal is to have plenty of communication.
We determine what our child needs and work accordingly. What should we pay attention to when choosing toys?
*It is important to play a game more than a toy, it should have a CE mark on the packaging, it should be easy to clean, it should be suitable for age development, it should not contain small parts, it should not contain long strings, the tags should be cut, it should not contain parts that can be swallowed
*Golden rules: Zero screen exposure for the first 18 months, regular reading from the 6th month, abundant verbal communication in the first 3 years, attention should be paid to toys with small pieces, safety is always the priority.
*Under 1 year old: They are more interested in sounds and colors. Push-pull toys that can be useful in crawling. Colorful and sound-making objects that can be hung on the bed. Objects and soft balls that bounce when thrown on the ground.
*1-2 years old: Simple picture books with ripstop. Finger puppets are durable toys made of materials suitable for throwing. Small push-pull toys that make noise. Simple illustrated storybooks. Dolls, toy cars.
*2-3 years old: 4-6 piece puzzle. Imitation toys (doctor, mechanic kit..), big furry toys. Loud-sounding toys. Books are indispensable for us.
3 years old: Imitation of all kinds of household materials we use in daily life. Detailed, richly illustrated storybooks. Large size lego, finger paints, play dough, simple matching games, 6-8 piece jigsaw puzzles, can ride a tricycle.
Stress, fear, excitement does not cause stuttering. It can only shape stuttering.
If the child is 2 years old, we expect 50% of his speech to be understood. 75% if 3 years old, 100% if 4 years old.
At least 1-2 words if 15 months old, at least 10 words if 18 months old, at least 100-150 words if 2 years old, if 3 years old We aim at least 800 words, and at least 1000 words for 4 years old.
Level 1: Attention and listening
Step 2: interaction and play
Step 3: understanding
Step 4: expressing
Step 5: speaking.
**If there is a speech problem, we need to improve the lower steps.
The front steps of speaking: Imitation skill, joint attention, c-ee game, finger pointing, turn-taking skill, cause-effect relationship.
Is your child on the right step?
18 months: Says 10+ words. Shows parts of his body when asked.
24 months: Says 50+ words. It can put two words together. (Mom come, give water) speech intelligibility is 50%.
36 months: Says 250+ words. Can put 3 words together. (give mommy food). Speech intelligibility is between 50-75%.
Do's and don'ts for children with preschool stuttering: do not complete the child's sentences, breathe and say things again don't tell.
Advice for families with preschool stuttering:
Continue with your daily routines, and you can reduce your speaking rate from time to time. Never complete the child's sentences.

How would you say? Your child may be calling the ice cream 'noma'. NO! Not 'noma', ice cream. Say it straight, say it FREE-STOP-MA!
He's so spoiled, my teacher doesn't tell him. Like this! Stay away from all such pressures. Our biggest mistake is constantly correcting our child. Your child may not be able to acquire all the sounds in that word, even if he has, he may not be ready to say it.
