Actionable Steps

1. Use routines whenever teaching language to children. Always use the same words for the same activity. For instance, always say: "brush your teeth" instead of sometimes saying that and some other times saying "wash your mouth", "clean your teeth", etc.
2. Give them lots of reasons to communicate. Don't try to always anticipate their needs.
3. But don't "test them". Avoid forcing them to name something or to repeat something. That causes stress and, in their mind, links questions to stress.
