As a mom of three little kids, I know how helpless you can feel when your child isn't meeting milestones...
My son still wasn't sitting independently at 9 months old... to say I was an anxious mess is an understatement! I was so worried, and my mind went to the worst possible scenarios.
I googled way too much and freaked myself out that there might be something seriously wrong with him... I felt so helpless.
When I finally learned what to do with him at home to strengthen his muscles, let me tell you – my anxious brain felt so empowered to finally have a plan of action.
I finally had peace of mind that I was helping him to progress at home – and progress he did! I wish I had known how to help him sooner...
You don't need to stress as long as I did.
When you're eager to hear your sweet baby or toddler talk, you don't have to sit back and wonder if there's anything more you could be doing.
You shouldn't have to wait to give your child the support they need...
Even if you can't afford to see a specialist.
Even if there is a waitlist months long for an evaluation.
I know that as a mom, you’re hit with advice from every direction. It can feel like walking into a room full of voices, each one telling you something different about how to best support your child’s language development.
Did someone say massively overwhelming? 🫣
But here’s something I want you to pause and really hear through all the noise...
...You are your child’s most important teacher.
the path to your child's speech and language growth doesn't begin in a therapist's office - it starts at home, with you.
Here’s why that’s so significant:
🔑 You hold the keys to your child’s success. Because no matter what other support your child might be receiving, the moments you share with them at home are where the real magic happens.
✨The daily interactions, the little conversations, the connections you build – these are what will truly shape your child’s communication skills.
I became a Speech-Language Pathologist because I believe in the power of communication. It’s the foundation of all relationships, the bridge that connects us. And when a child struggles with communication, it’s not just about words – it’s about the ability to connect, to be heard, and to express who they are.
Your child deserves to have their voice heard loud and clear, and guess what? You’re the one who can help give their voice a megaphone. 📣💛
And that’s exactly what Raising Little Talkers is all about - because it’s built on the belief that expression is everything. Every word your child learns, every sound they make, is a step toward connection. And as you and I both know, connection is at the heart of everything we do as parents.
