232 Series: Speech & Language Delays: What Parents Need to Know

Hey Friends~ 

“Is my child behind in speech? When should my toddler be talking? Should I wait and see, or do I need to worry right now?

If you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, you’re not alone. Parents all over the world type those exact words into Google every single day — because watching your child struggle to talk, or not knowing if they’re on track, can feel overwhelming.

This is the FIRST EPISODE IN THIS SERIES as we talk about speech and language delays in young children, focusing on ages 1-5.  

In this episode, you will  understand the difference between speech and language,  what milestones matter, which red flags you shouldn’t ignore, and what you can do at home right now to support your child - whether or not there is a delay!

You are your child’s best teacher!  This episode will help you maximize on that!

Always cheering you on!
