There are so many techniques she uses without even thinking about it to encourage communication that, left on my own, I would never have known to use. For example, in the really early days, when a child said &amp;quot;blah blah blah blah&amp;quot; I would have been inclined to repeat it, but now I&amp;#x27;ll say &amp;quot;that&amp;#x27;s right, an aeroplane!&amp;quot; (Or whatever it is).&lt;p&gt;Parent-child interaction goes a really long way in child development and if you ever get the chance, it&amp;#x27;s worth sitting in on a session (whether your child needs extra help or not). A large part of the work my wife does is around enabling parents to assist kids that need more input (through no fault of the parents themselves).</text></comment>
