Narrating Play

“This is Howard Cossell, Welcome to the Wide World of Play”

• Encourage your child to engage in pretend play.
• Talk to the various dolls, characters, animals, figures or puppets as your child is playing with them.
• Pretend the toys and characters are talking to your child.  Have him give the toys directions and ask your child questions.
• Talk about what you are playing with, where they are going, what they are doing.
