Lisa Murphy on Play Episode 5

Join us for our discussion of chapter 13 from Lisa Murphy on Play: The Foundation of Children's Learning by Lisa Murphy. This chapter is titled, "Make Time Each Day to...DISCUSS." That's right SLPs, this chapter is for us! We discuss how children learn language, the way children basically think out loud until they're seven years old, and the idea that we don't really have to respond to everything children say. Then we go through Lisa's "Discussion Destroyers" and they really gave us some food for thought. They include asking questions you already know the answer to, disregarding a child's response, saying "Someone already said that," and asking "fake" questions. We also go over Lisa's strategies for modeling language, social skills, and problem-solving for children. This chapter is really about building a solid foundation of social-emotional learning, which will lead to later success in school and life. It was such a great chapter, and we hope you enjoy our discussion of it!
