Puppets can help grow your children’s Social Pragmatic Language. Puppets can be used to enhance social skills by “teaching” appropriate behaviors, such as good manners and turn-taking. Children can work on maintaining conversations and role-playing different social situations between puppets. You can also explain different emotions with puppets. Additionally, it can be more motivating for them to talk if they feel like they are talking to a friendly puppet, instead of a person who may “judge” them.
