We Can Talk Book (KET321) & DVD (KET751)
WE CAN TALK is all about communicating with children. From the time they are born all children communicate in some way and as they grow those skills change. For parents and others working with children, their job is to decipher meaning and respond to their cries, gestures, and words, but that is not always easy.

What can you do to help children develop stronger speech and language skills, decrease the frustration that children experience when they cannot be understood, and set them up for success in school? The book and DVD answer these questions by describing 9 techniques for enhancing a child's communication skills. WE CAN TALK is a practical program for parents and professionals who work with young children from infancy through the early elementary years. When applying the 9 techniques you can become a better listener and observer of each child's life and their desires. You will also be able to identify what helps a child become verbal and what hinders them from learning to communicate.

The WE CAN TALK Book (85 pages) gives a more complete and expanded description of the 9 techniques for enhancing a child's speech and language skills and contains the following chapters:
1. Wonder about what your child is communicating. Wait and Watch.
2. Exaggerate and entice with your gestures and voice to increase imitation.
3. Comment about what you and your child are doing, seeing, and enjoying.
4. Add singing throughout your day. Children love and learn from music.
5. Notice when your child initiates communication. Respond and add to it.
6. Take turns talking, giving your child time to respond. Keep it going.
7. Ask questions. Acknowledge and applaud your child's attempts to answer.
8. Laugh a lot! Laughing together is a great way to get talking started.
9. Keep books handy. Your child needs a daily dose of reading.
10. Summary and closing comments.
The book talks to parents and professionals about the tricks of the trade and how to teach children to communicate with others. This book is written in parent friendly terms and gives practical suggestions on how to implement the techniques during daily routines and play. KET321 $12.95

The WE CAN TALK DVD contains a 1-hour presentation of the WE CAN TALK techniques presented by Rachel Arntson in front of a live audience at the Mothers of Multiples convention in Minneapolis. This recording can be used as a training video for parents, professionals, or others who would like to expand their knowledge of how to stimulate the speech and language skills of young children. By watching this fun and engaging one-hour DVD, you will learn the 9 strategies and techniques that will guide you along the road to helping your child communicate. Focus on one technique per week and experiment with it in virtually every part of your child's day. Use it while getting your child dressed, while having a meal, during bath time, while playing, when traveling in the car, when going for walks, anytime! By concentrating on only one technique at a time you will be amazed at what you will learn about your child's speech and language skills. WE CAN TALK techniques are practical and simple to learn, but they do require one thing to make them a habit - practice. These techniques do not require any more time OUT of your day, but they do require incorporating them INTO your day. KET751 $19.95
