Dave, you bring up a good point about talking down to children. Clinicians should always make decisions regarding how best to positively reinforce children in therapy and build self esteem as little communicators based upon the age, maturity level and interests of the child. I have only one female preschooler who wanted to be a speech ranger! Her spiderman tennis shoes were a good clue which direction I could go with her!
