Row row row your boat!!! 🚣🚣🚣

It's such a simple song and game but so great for encouraging eye contact and eventually speech.
Especially for early intervention before language comes, this type of floor play and interactive games are perfect.

Kirsty has always loved it. At the start if she even made a sound or gave a glance of eye contact we'd go again. It's important to wait and let them realise they need to so something if you want to continue.  Even the smallest sign is ok as you can build on it.
Now Kirsty will say "again " or "go" and sometimes even "Momma, again ". Any sign of a word and we are weak!! 😁😁 Her teacher was playing it in school with her yesterday and she couldn't believe the eye contact and interaction she was getting.
Logan loves it too. The faster the better for him. Brian thinks he'll have whiplash!! 😂😂

Try it with your little ones.  Even do one or two lines of the song to build it up and then go longer and longer each time. If they'll sit on your lap that's great but some kids cannot tolerate that closeness so a mat on the floor works just fine too.

Happy rowing!!!
