Coax me to express my feelings through the sounds I can make

Show me that you understand how I feel by reacting to me empathetically

Make exaggerated responses to any vocal sounds I may make that show how I am feeling
Respond empathetically to the sounds I make with objects and instruments that may indicate excitement or annoyance, for example
Try to identify any triggers that may cause me to express particular feelings by vocalising or making sounds with objects
Can you use these triggers to elicit responses in sound from me?
Can you soothe any negative emotions I may express with a reassuring word, a touch on the hand or a hug, and so change the nature of the sounds that I make?
Remember that choosing not to make a sound may be an indication of how I’m feeling too
