How to Playfully Get Your Child Talking

Playful Spark Strategies Guide

Bring joy into your routines. Spark connection and communication.

Created by a mom, speech-language pathologist, parent coach, and sibling to a brother with autism — this guide helps you use playfulness to invite your child into more communication, more connection, and more fun.

Play is how children learn best — and when you add a little silliness, surprise, or sparkle to your routines, you create moments that are irresistible for your child to join. These strategies are designed to help you turn everyday interactions into joyful, back-and-forth exchanges that support communication without pressure.

Inside you’ll find:

• Playful strategies like “be silly,” “be forgetful,” and “out of reach”

• Real-life examples for playtime, mealtime, and daily routines

• Encouragement and clarity from someone who’s supported families and lived it firsthand

Perfect for parents, caregivers, and educators supporting early communicators, autistic children, or kids with language delays.

✨ When you spark joy, you spark connection — and that’s where communication begins.
