what is the best toy for teaching children who are slow learners?

Question

It is for my daughter and she is 2.5 years old and has not started talking yet

Answer 1

I'm not to sure what it's called but it's a ball with all the shapes in it and the shapes come with it to fit the cut outs in the ball. Also get colored cards and hold them up and say the color, do this over and over until she can name the color.

My oldest Nephew who is now 15 did not talk until he was 4. We had him tested for a hearing problem and all, we found out he actually had a very high IQ.

Good luck with your little angel and please be patient and loving, that always pays off. ^j^

Answer 2

There is no real best "toy" for teaching. Reading as much to your child. Most kids love those ryhme games and books with repetition. Modeling reading will help when their older. Show an interest in reading books, of your own level as well. Almost any toy can be used as an educational activity. You can have a barn set and make all the different sounds of the animals. Sometimes ask the child, now what sound does a horse make? Make whatever your doing fun and innovative. If your having fun she will have fun. You don't need to run out and buy every single expensive "so called learning thing out there". If you model language and model reading you should be fine. One example, if your cooking. Read whats on the box. She will hear your language. If you have a friend whose a speech - language pathologist, you could ask them to look at her if your really worried.

Answer 3

She doesn't need a toy to teach her to talk, she need you. First I would suggest taking her to the doctor and voice your concerns, get her checked for hearing problems. If those issues are ruled out then I suggest constantly talking to her,pointing and naming items around the house and when you are out in the street. Conversation is the biggest key to teaching your child to talk. Talk even if you feel like it is going no where. Soon she will surprise you and answer back. We as adults sometimes forget that they are little people too and just want to feel included. Hope that Helps

Answer 4

There is no specific toy to teach her to talk. Your first step should be a visit to your family doctor to determine if there is a reason she is not talking. The best way to encourage your child to use language is to talk to her. Explain to her what you are doing while you're working in the yard or the kitchen. Discuss the things you see as you drive down the road. Maybe most importantly (after the doctor visit) read read read read to her.

Answer 5

Repetition, repetition, repetition, and patience. Keep saying a couple of words and point to what they are and say them every day. Show her your mouth and how it moves to form letters. Let her touch your throat to feel the words vibrations and then touch hers. But the main thing is to say the words over and over and try to get her to say it.You may need to reward her with a favorite treat if she tries so she will understand that to get the snack she must make the sound. Celebrate ever time she says something, anything just as long as it is a sound! God be with you!

Answer 6

You are the best toy. When she wants juice make her ask for it not just point and then ask her what kind and build it from there, it might be worth just getting a doctor to check her hearing etc just in case.

Answer 7

Actually just reading to your child could help her begin talking. As for a toy... studies show that children learn better with color. Their minds will associate things with the color... like grass we associate with the color green, etc. Also sounds can help too.

Answer 8

Reapting everything inumerable times. its annoying but may come handy. Repeat a word (name) contineously by pointing at tht specific object.
And plz dont worry, some kids learn to walk very late, some take longer to speak thn other kids. its a natural phenominon. Keep it cool & dont stress urself & ur lil'one.

Answer 9

try getting her to ask for the things she wants like the saying goes ( Little tommy tucker sang for his supper ) try this gradually after all she is only a child but i assure you after a while unless she has some unknown problems you dont know about then once she has got a verbal contact you wont be able to keep her silent again

Answer 10

Try to take notice of those things which seem to fascinate her or capture her attention. They may be visually stimulating or otherwise. It is with those objects or interests which will keep her focused on what you are trying to teach her. Expose her to different types of music to see what she responds to as well. This may get her to vocalize and build on her vocabulary. Good luck to you and your daughter!
