“She talks, but it always feels one-sided.”
“He never knows what to say back.”

Sound familiar?

❓ What Is Pragmatic Language?

It’s not about what a child says—it’s about how they use language socially.

Pragmatic language includes:

• Starting and ending conversations
• Knowing when to speak
• Using language differently with adults vs peers
• Understanding sarcasm, tone, and emotion

🔍 Signs You Might Notice

Between ages 5 and 8, key red flags include:

• Difficulty staying on topic
• Trouble with turn-taking
• Lack of questions or comments
• Repeating scripts or lines from shows
• Missing sarcasm or jokes
• Struggles with facial expressions or tone

Many kids with autism, ADHD, or social anxiety show similar signs.

💬 Why This Gets Missed

These children may:

• Speak clearly in therapy
• Read at grade level
• Know hundreds of words

But in real life?
They may go silent, interrupt, or monologue.

This contrast can confuse even experienced caregivers and professionals.

✅ What Helps Most

Children need repeated, social-language practice—in real-feeling situations.

Dubu PingPong was built for that:

• Roleplay with AI “peers”
• Practice emotional expression
• Learn to connect, not just speak

🌱 The earlier you support pragmatic language, the easier it is to build lifelong connection skills.
