5 tips for parents to help your child speak with confidence:<br />
• Get your child to stand up and speak to you, reciting a poem or just telling<br />
you about their day. Also get them to tell other family members about a recent<br />
sporting event or school activity.<br />
• Children should write down what they’re going to say – this helps them to<br />
plan their speech and become familiar with words.<br />
• Encourage your child to look up and speak with confidence.<br />
• Tell them to practice speaking to a mirror first – a technique used by Winston<br />
Churchill, one of the world’s great public speakers.<br />
• If they have to speak at school, get them to focus on the back wall, so the<br />
audience doesn’t seem so scary.<br />
