FAQ

Questions Parents Often Ask

Not sure how to use Milo — or whether it’s the right fit for your child? Here are quick, clear answers to the most common questions, so you can get the most out of this playful, language-building book.

What age is MILO suitable for?

MILO is best for toddlers who are just starting to talk, as well as children with delayed speech — typically 12 months and up.

How should I use the book with my child?

Read the short sentences together, point to the pictures, and ask simple questions like “Who is this?” or “What sound does it make?” Then pause and give your child time to imitate sounds and join in at their own pace.

Do I need to read all the text exactly?

No. You can follow the pictures, talk freely about what you see, and play with sounds — there’s no pressure to read every word.

What if my child struggles to pronounce words?

That’s completely normal at this stage. Encourage any attempt, model the sound gently, and celebrate small wins — it helps build confidence and keeps learning fun.

Can this book be used with children learning a second language?

Yes. Because MILO focuses on sound imitation, vowels, and simple, repeatable words, it can be a helpful, playful way to support early speaking in a new language.

How long should we spend with the book each day?

Even a few minutes a day is enough. Short, regular read-and-play sessions help your child explore sounds and words without feeling overwhelmed.

Can MILO be used in groups?

Yes. MILO works well in small groups, encouraging children to imitate sounds, answer simple questions, and practise turn-taking while learning together.

MEET THE CREATOR OF MILO

Paulina Ratynska

I’m Paulina — mum, writer and future neuropsychologist.
For years, I’ve been fascinated by how children learn, feel and communicate — long before they say their first clear words.

MILO was created from that curiosity — and from a deep wish to support parents during the earliest, most fragile stage of development.

Alongside my studies, I work closely with families and specialists, and I believe that speech grows best in an environment of play, safety and connection — never pressure.

I hope this book brings you gentle ideas, moments of closeness and a bit more confidence on your journey together.

*This book does not replace diagnosis or therapy. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, it’s best to consult a qualified specialist.
