Speech & Language

Understanding other people

From noticing clues, to working out why something happened, to choosing what to say or do. Pick the step that is closest to where your child is.

There’s no right order. Start at the step that feels closest, skip any that don’t fit, and come back to one as often as you like.

  1. Looking for CluesNotice what someone’s body or face might show
  2. Why Did That Happen?Find the clue that explains a “why”
  3. Kind or Unkind?Think about words, voice and feelings
  4. What Helps?Work out what an action does and what could help
