Today: Take a conversational turn without interrupting.

Learn

Conversation has turns. While another person speaks, a listener holds an idea; when the speaker finishes, the listener may answer.

Use a small object as a talking token. The person holding it speaks. The other person listens and then receives the token.

Study the model

Adult: I like windy days. Child: I like sunny days.

Read

Theo held the smooth stone and told about his red kite. When he finished, he passed the stone to June. June told about a blue umbrella.
