When working on nonverbal language (specifically facial expressions and emotions), Simon's Cat can be a great tool!  I suggest allowing your child to watch the entire video all the way through the first time then watch it again with added discussion.  You can stop the video to allow kids to process portions of it, ask him/her questions, or discuss specific parts of it. Kids enjoy it! 

• Avoid any and all comments or facial expressions that show disapproval of the child's speech.  
• Remove pressure for the child to perform perfectly.
• Do not ask the child to recite or perform in front of others.
• Allow the child to make mistakes and to see adults making mistakes.
• Do not praise and do not punish the child for his/her speech.
• Give the child plenty of time to talk--it may take him/her longer than others to get the message across.
• Accept all of the child's speech~~ fluent and non-fluent as normal speech.

Call a speech-language pathologist to talk about your concerns.  It is very important to keep communication positive and if the child is not aware of his/her difficulty--KEEP IT THAT WAY!

• Look at the child when he or she speaks.  Maintain good eye contact.
• Wait for the child to complete the message no matter how long it takes.  Never interrupt or finish words or sentences for the child.
• Make certain no one calls the child a "stutterer."
• Avoid telling the child to "Slow down," "Start over," "Take a deep breath," or "Say that over."

 Here's a great book that answers that question.  Great story and illustrations.  A wonderful opportunity to work on language with your child! And, look closely~ there are some hidden pictures of Santa, a rabbit, a dinosaur, and more!
