When you are teaching your child a new word, tell the little guy exactly what it is, even if you think it's a hard word. If it's a gorilla, don't call it a monkey. If it's a french fry, don't call it a fry-fry. If it's a cruise ship, don't call it a boat. Baby talk is cute and little guys come up with lots of cute names for things, I know. But then you have to go back and reteach them so they know the actual name of the object, when they could have just learned the harder word the first time. They can do it....they are smarter than we think.
Teach some hard words...make your little one super smart!
