To continue developing language skills, parents can encourage their child to engage in conversation by asking open-ended questions and actively listening to their responses. Reading books together and pointing out new vocabulary words can also help expand their language abilities. Playing games that involve describing objects or actions can also be a fun way to practice language skills.
