Just you and your child — no siblings or background noise. This keeps focus and ensures the app records clearly. Start speaking first after hitting record to help track the interaction.
Use open-ended toys like blocks or art supplies. Avoid electronics, sports, competitive games, or games with rules.
Let your child guide the play. Follow along without directing or taking over.
Use: Praise, Reflect, Imitate, Describe, Enjoy.
Avoid: Negative talk (never), commands and questions (okay outside play, not during).
Keep it to 5 minutes a day, around the same time, for consistency and connection.
