As a parent, how can you best support your child’s language development in your busy everyday life? There are many demands on the parents of young children today, and it can be difficult to make sure you are doing enough to support your child’s language. In the TipsByText project, we send parents of young children three text messages each week with tips on fun activities designed to fit into family routines and to make it easier for parents to improve early language skills. We are currently testing whether these prompts can encourage parents to use a wider vocabulary in their everyday interactions with their children, and thus to support their children’s language development.
