 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home from Medell. In this series we will show you some simple activities you can do at home to help your child with their listening and speaking. Today we're watching Mia and her mum reading a book and developing her theory of mind skills along the way. Theory of mind is the ability to understand that other people have thoughts and perspectives that are different from our own. Children with hearing loss sometimes have difficulties with theory of mind as they may have trouble overhearing conversations. In this video you'll see Mia's mum reading a story and giving her daughter opportunities to hear how others think and feel. Let's see how it works. I think it looks like pink. There's an ankle or so in the bathroom. Mama? Yes. Look, he's eating some calories. He's eating some calories. Ah, he's eating some calories? Yeah, I'm eating them. I'm hungry. He's eating my pee, put my crayon. Crayon? Crayon. And how does he feel about that? Cross. Cross? He's like, I don't like that. Give it back to me. No, we don't want to give it back. Well, while the hedgehogs play silly games with all the glitter that they found, I tried to make a picture. But... He's eating it. He's eating them. He's eating all my pictures. I don't like that. Oh, no. Look at it. They have all made a complete mess and the teacher is not... Happy. Happy at all. You saw Mia's mum reading the words on the page but she also explained her thoughts, predicted the character's thoughts and feelings and suggested what they might say. She used words that describe thoughts or feelings such as I think and physical state terms such as he's hungry. Reading books like this is a wonderful opportunity to talk about others' perspectives, feelings and beliefs to help your child gain an understanding that their own thoughts may be different from those of other people.
