If your child has a speech impediment you need to be a good model for your child.  Talk at a slower rate and speak clearly.  If your child is working on the k sound and he/she says tow for cow.  You should say yes that is a cow, with a slight emphasis on the k so that your child is hearing the sound produced correctly. 

It is important to read to your young children, this will help increase their vocabulary skills and grammar.  Use a variety of vocabulary when speaking to a child.  If your child says, "That is a big dog."  You could say, "Yes, that dog is huge."

Your Speech/Language Therapist should provide you with activities to work with your child at home.  To help your child to be successful in their speech/language skills is to work with them at home!
