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.
1 Do your best to respond, even when you don't understand what your baby is trying to say. 2  Reinforce communication by smiling and mirroring facial expressions.  Because gestures are a way babies try to communicate, imitate your baby's gestures, as well.
