As you fill the tub with water, turn the water off after only a few seconds. Put your child in the tub and begin bathing him. If your child doesn’t say anything, prompt him by saying, “Uh Oh! We need more water.” Expect him to imitate the phrase or at least “more water”. Show him the picture on Card 3 so he understands you need lots more water in the bathtub. You can repeat this as many times as you like until the bath is full. You can do the same with shampoo, bubble bath, bath gel, etc. After doing this a few times, he may say ‘more’ spontaneously. Remember to acknowledge his communication and say, “Yes, we need more soap.” He should imitate at least “more soap”. In this way you are continually exposing him to the next level of language he will need to develop.• Use children’s coloured stick soap or body paint and colour different body parts. Name the different body parts as you wash them. You can also paint your hand and your child’s hand. During this activity highlight the words “my” and “mine”. This is my hand. This is mummy’s hand. That’s your hand. Providing these phrases will enable your child to imitate and then generalise using vocabulary he already knows. You can put some paint on his knee and ask, “What’s that?” He can answer “My knee.” Do this with all the body parts he already knows. You can also expose your child to new vocabulary by naming body parts he might not have learned yet. Remember to use the possessive words (my, mummy’s, your, etc). Some body parts your child might not know yet are: ankle, calf, shoulder, back, elbow, forehead, etc. This activity works even better if your child has siblings that can join him in the bath and you talk about each child’s knee, hand, foot, etc.
