I haven’t read Thirty Million Words but I second the idea of talking to your child. A lot. I try to tell mine what we are doing, what we are about to do, why we are doing things the way we are, etc. Also, because I don’t always succeed at explaining everything all the time, he asks a bunch of questions! So I try to answer each of his questions in a way he can comprehend as best I can. I’ve noticed that doing all of that, makes him happier, more confident, and less likely to have emotional outbursts.
