Background and adult guidance

Listen, name, then listen again

This makes room for one sound at a time. You can notice it with your child, give it a simple name, and see what they do next.

The sound may be a clock, water in the sink, or footsteps. It is a shared listening moment, not a search game or a check on hearing.

Try saying

“I hear tap, tap.” Pause. “Your feet are tap, tap.”

Fit it into your day

Use a quiet moment before a familiar indoor routine, such as washing hands or putting toys away.

Notice and adapt it together

Notice: Notice which sounds make them pause, look, move, or copy.

Make it simpler: Sit together and listen for one sound without walking.

Take it further: Let them lead you a few steps toward the next gentle sound.
