Tips to improve listening skills in toddlers

Making your toddler listen to you can be a huge task. Each child is different and their temperaments differ. You can experiment and test various methods to understand your child better and improve their listening skills. Below are some tried and tested methods to improve listening skill of toddlers.

#1 Call using their names

Constantly calling by their names makes it clear for them they need to be alert and listen to what is said next. Calling their name will be their cue to be attentive and thereby improving their listening skills.

#2 Kneel and get their eye-level

Squat or kneel to come in direct eye-contact with your toddler. This helps make a better connection between you and child. The child grasps what is said more quicker than when said in a normal posture. Squatting down to their level and communicating positively affects their listening skills.

#4 Use gestures and expressions

Though your child can reasonably understand your language, using gestures and expression makes it much clearer and thereby increases the listening skills of the child. For example you can furrow your eyebrow or shake your head to make your child understand better.

#5 Try singing

Music can be powerful when your toddler does not listen to you. If you try singing what you want to say, there are chances for your toddler to pay more attention and listen to what you are saying. This will gradually increase their listening skills.

Special children deserve special attention !

Every child is unique. Each grows and learns at their own pace. From the moment a baby is born, there are several milestones like turning around, responding to light and sounds, co-ordination of hands and eyes, imitating sounds and so on. The baby needs to constantly develop social/emotional skills, language and communication skills through noises and gestures. Their cognitive skills like responding to name, recognizing people and physical developments like crawling, sitting up and pulling themselves up to stand are also equally important.

If you find a difference in your baby like he/she does not respond to sounds, lack of eye contact, difficulty in recognizing people and does not communicate, or in the case of older children if they are not able to completely give attention to the conversation or they find it difficult to understand or respond appropriately, it is important that you consult an expert.
