Communication - What might my toddler do? Understanding language is far more important to your toddler than actually speaking it. Once they really understand, they will communicate with you. Your toddlerâs first words are almost always labels (ie: names for people, animals) or other things that are important to them.
Communication pitfalls. 1  Avoid using children as a sounding board. 2  Donât expect children to take sides. 3  Donât assume children can talk openly about their feelings. If children donât want to talk, that is okay.  Children should not have to choose sides. They love both of their parents.
