Lesson Overview

11.4 – Supporting Communication Differences With Patience: Communication may look different for every child, and patience is key to understanding those differences. Some children speak fluently, while others rely on gestures, devices, or facial expressions. Parents who wait, observe, and respond thoughtfully send a message that their child’s words—spoken or not—have value. Supporting communication differences means slowing conversations down and allowing extra time for responses. Visual supports, social stories, and calm tones all make communication easier. Instead of correcting speech patterns, parents can model clear language and celebrate every effort to connect. Patience reduces pressure and frustration for both parent and child. It also builds emotional safety that encourages expression. Respecting communication diversity transforms silence into understanding and uncertainty into connection. Each exchange becomes an opportunity for trust and mutual learning.
