Using bubbles or a strong routine
When teaching a child to speak, we must have something of value. What does that mean? Children will be more likely to interact with you when you’re fun. And the fastest way to achieve that is to use something like bubbles.

By using a desirable object like bubbles, you can create a play routine. It’s something predictable, fun and what you do over and over.


Teach baby steps towards words
Many skip to teach children to speak words. If it were that easy, the child would have already started to speak themselves! So you should accept gestures and word approximations. What gestures? Teach “open” and “blow” if you’re using bubbles. It depends on what your child likes and what activity you’re trying to do.


Keep modelling the language you want to hear
To teach a child to talk, we must be constantly teaching what is expected of the child. This must be done in a way that they can understand. You should describe at the language level they are at. Usually, that means just stating things or actions in 1 word. As the child hears the word over and over, at the right context and right timing. S/he will start to pick up how to use the word you’re trying to teach.
