Talk All Day: Parent Narration Scripts for Every Routine

You know you're supposed to talk to your baby all day long. You've heard it builds their brain, grows their vocabulary, and sets them up for language success. But when you're elbow-deep in a diaper change or pushing the stroller on your third lap around the block, your mind goes blank. What are you supposed to say? How do you narrate the same routine for the tenth time without sounding like a broken record? This template gives you the exact words. Inside, you'll find seven ready-to-use narration scripts for the moments that happen every single day—diaper changes, mealtimes, car rides, bath time, and more. Each script is designed as a fill-in-the-blank framework so you can drop in your child's name, your specific routine, and the objects around you. You'll also get a fully filled-in example for each one, so you can see exactly how it sounds in real life, plus short usage notes that explain why each strategy works and how to adapt it as your child grows. No more awkward silence. No more "I don't know what to say" guilt. Just simple, repeatable scripts that help you talk more—so your child hears more, learns more, and starts building the vocabulary foundation they need. I'm Bridget Hillsberg, a speech-language pathologist and the creator behind Let's Get Your Child Talking. I've spent years teaching parents how to weave language into daily life without adding a single thing to their to-do list. These scripts come straight from the strategies I use with families in my practice and share in my online courses—and now they're yours to use, adapt, and make your own.
