Parent Toolkit #1
My Child Understands So Much...
Why Aren't They Talking?
A practical digital toolkit for parents and carers
Your child may follow familiar routines, recognise what you mean or understand everyday instructions, but still use few spoken words.
This can leave parents wondering what is happening and what they should do next.
This toolkit explains in straightforward language why understanding and talking do not always develop at the same rate. It provides practical ideas for supporting communication naturally during everyday family life.
What The Toolkit Covers
The difference between understanding language and using language.
Ways a child may communicate without spoken words.
Factors that can make talking more difficult.
Useful language to model during familiar routines
Ways to reduce pressure around speaking.
Guidance about when to seek additional professional advice.
Who Is It For?
This toolkit is for parents and carers seeking general educational information about children's communication, particularly when a child appears to understand more than they can say.
It may be useful to families of neurotypical and neurodivergent children. It does not determine whether a child has a communication difficulty or other condition.

Parent Toolkit #2
Encourage Talking Without The Pressure
Practical ways to create more opportunities for communication —
without pressure
You may be asking questions, encouraging your child to repeat words or saying “Say it” because you genuinely want to help them talk.
But when communication begins to feel like a test, both you and your child can become frustrated—and you may be left wondering what to do instead.
This toolkit shows you how to encourage communication without pressure.
It gives you simple, practical ways to follow your child’s interests, model useful words, pause, notice their responses and create natural opportunities for communication during everyday family life.
What The Toolkit Covers
How children communicate before and alongside spoken words.
Five pressure-free strategies: follow their lead, model rather than test, pause, create natural opportunities and respond to their message.
Practical examples showing what to say instead of repeatedly questioning or asking your child to “say it.”
Simple activities for play, snack times, getting dressed and other everyday routines.
A manageable seven-day plan for introducing one small change at a time.
What communication progress might look like beyond word counts, plus guidance on when to seek individual professional advice.
Who Is It For?
This toolkit is for parents and carers of young children who understand more than they say, are not talking as much as expected, or tend to communicate through pointing, reaching, sounds and actions.
It is particularly helpful if you find yourself repeatedly asking questions or saying “Say it” and want practical ways to encourage communication without putting your child under pressure.
