Bathtime gives another chance to encourage language growth in the infant or child.

• Keep the conversation flowing, talk about daily events.
• Talk about what you are doing e.g. "I am washing your face" .
• Repeat correctly any word the child says incorrectly e.g. "foot for "poot".
• Name the parts of the body being washed and repeat them.
• Prompt the child to find and name objects around him e.g. "Where's the soap?"
