As a person who works with toddlers， this was a very helpful resource and helped me think and shape how I interact with emergent talkers！

I thought this book was well laid out and a good practical synthesis of the advice we have been given by speech therapists this far。 I do feel like it was missing something I was hoping for mostly， what to do when your child's understanding is way beyond their verbal abilities。 They do say in the beginning that when they talk about "words" they mean signs as well as spoken words。 My daughter primarily communicates by sign and has very， very little verbal language though her understanding is age I thought this book was well laid out and a good practical synthesis of the advice we have been given by speech therapists this far。 I do feel like it was missing something I was hoping for mostly， what to do when your child's understanding is way beyond their verbal abilities。 They do say in the beginning that when they talk about "words" they mean signs as well as spoken words。 My daughter primarily communicates by sign and has very， very little verbal language though her understanding is age appropriate。 I found it difficult to implement some of the advice given because her "category" seemed to assume a larger verbal repertoire than she has。 I am still finding it difficult to find ways to connect and encourage more communication when her turn taking and imitation of us is still minimal even though she understands us。 However， there definitely great takeaways in general and I'm hoping they help some。 。。。more

This book is filled with great ideas to use at every stage of language development。 Best of all， it's a Canadian book and recommends resources， books， etc that are Canadian or easily found here。 This book is filled with great ideas to use at every stage of language development。 Best of all， it's a Canadian book and recommends resources， books， etc that are Canadian or easily found here。 。。。more

It s a good book， but I just felt it had so many repetitive information。 Maybe I didn't get it right。 Maybe you should have read JUST the parts related to the communication group your child is？ But then， what if your kid is not exactly in one group？ like in the border？ Anyway， it is a good book， specially if you don't have a nanny like me， that had dealt with her own kid before and knows how to deal with these kinds of issues， because to be honest I learnt more from seeing her in action than rea It s a good book， but I just felt it had so many repetitive information。 Maybe I didn't get it right。 Maybe you should have read JUST the parts related to the communication group your child is？ But then， what if your kid is not exactly in one group？ like in the border？ Anyway， it is a good book， specially if you don't have a nanny like me， that had dealt with her own kid before and knows how to deal with these kinds of issues， because to be honest I learnt more from seeing her in action than reading this book。 So yeah if you don't have another resource this is a good start。 。。。more
