Hey Friends~ 

There is a long held belief that boys lag behind girls, but researchers now say there’s no real difference.  Do boys actually lag behind girls?  In this episode, we unpack both ideas, explain why the confusion exists, and give practical strategies for boys, girls, and all children.  

 If you’ve ever asked this question, you’re not alone. This episode is the SECOND IN A SERIES as we talk about speech and language delays in young children, focusing on ages 1-5.  Parents all over the world,  every single day - search Google  with questions like, “Is my child behind in speech?” This series will help you figure this out.  

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

Always cheering you on!
