8 – 15 months 1-2 minutes
16 – 19 months 2-3 minutes
20 – 24 months 3-6 minutes
25 – 36 months 5-8 minutes
3 – 4 years 8-10 minutes

3) Help them shift their attention:
Shifting attention is an important skill for school. You can help by using their name and giving them time to shift from one thing to...

In this video, Adrienne and Terra share how to get toddlers and children of all ages to talk and communicate their emotions and feelings in a clear, concise way. Using simple activities, parents, caregivers, teachers, and speech-language pathologists can learn how to help your toddler talk more and understand more language so that they can communicate better.
