“Letting the child take the lead”
Taking Lead in Conversation
• Many times adults take lead in conversation
• They dominate the conversation
• Children rarely initiate communication during
interaction
• Children mostly respond to what the adults
are saying
Why do you need to get the child to
take the lead
• No demands to shift attention
• Shared focus
• Child feels important
• More sociable – more interaction
• Fewer arguments

Child who lead, gets the language he needs


Letting the child lead – how to?
• You do the OWL (face to face with the child)
- Observe – what the child is doing, what are his
interests
- Wait – for the child to start the interaction,
respond to you
- Listen – to understand what child is saying, to
let the child know taht his sound, words are
important

understanding)
