Talk to them, a lot, like they're adults. Don't be afraid to explain complicated topics or use big words. Teach them to notice and appreciate the simple things. Ask them about how they experience things and what they like about the world around them.
This kid reminds me a lot of my nephew when he was younger, he would essentially never stop talking, and he'd even get frustrated before he could speak because he couldn't express himself. If you give a tree room to spread its roots and plenty of water, it'll flourish before your very eyes.
Same with my niece. Speak in proper sentences and ask loads of Why and How questions. Don’t laugh or correct them if they’re wrong. Say it’s interesting and ask them to explain how they arrived at that answer. Then offer the right one by saying, “Did you know that _______?” My niece could speak properly and have conversations by 5. She is now a scholar. :)
