1A 03 Encouraging Language Without Pressure

You might be thinking: “But what if I try… and my child resists?” Here’s what NOT to say:

❌ “Just a while, you must speak Malay!” ❌ “Is it really that hard?” And here’s what

you can say instead: “It’s okay. You can just listen.” “No need to speak. Just listen today.”

“Mama’s just sharing a little.” Remember this: Listening without pressure is the

first success. If your child doesn’t walk away, that already matters.
