There are no benefits!

You have nothing to loose by supporting your child’s language development early on!

But there is definitely a risk with waiting!

Imagine what it could do for your child’s language development if you knew speech therapy strategies?

Here’s an easy and fun way to teach your little one new words👇🏼

Sing and add gestures to songs! Gestures give clues to what words mean.

If your singing “The wheels on the bus” roll your arms or if your singing “open shut them” open and shut your hands!

What is your child’s favorite song to sing?

This is my most frequently asked question as a speech pathologist.

I have mixed feeling about this question because the number of words a child has is not a full picture of their language development. So keep that in mind.

So what do you do if your child is not saying as many words as they “should”? DON’T stress! Talk to an SLP! Learn ways you can help your child learn more words at home.

And if your currently in a situation where your child is in therapy or you’re being intentional in supporting their language development then don’t even look or stress over these numbers because THEY DON’T MATTER! Meet your child where they are and enjoy their journey! These numbers don’t define who they will become or what kind of parent you are ❤️!

Knowing what steps to take next is key!

If your child isn’t imitating gestures and you focus on getting them to imitate words you are skipping a step.

When your child is learning to walk first they roll, then sit, then crawl, then stand, and finally start walking. It’s the same thing with language.

Your child doesn’t go from cooing to saying words overnight. There’s a step by step process.

I’ll teach you these exact steps inside of Tiny Talkers Academy so that your child can go from no words to talking in full sentences as fast as possible!

You can do this during your everyday routines! No extra time or fancy activities needed!

Most people don’t realize how important communication skills are.

It’s the one skill that can determine someone’s success in life, whether it’s a child asking for help, expressing their feelings, or an adult making connections or resolving conflict.

The ability to communicate effectively is a game-changer.

Imagine your little one confidently telling you what they need, sharing their thoughts, and connecting with others. That’s not just a milestone—it’s a foundation for their future success.

Investing in your child’s communication skills now isn’t just about today; it’s about empowering them for a lifetime.

👇🏼Why these words?

It’s simple really…
These words will help a child get their wants and needs met.

When toddlers aren’t able to express their wants and needs this often times results in a tantrum, hitting, crying, and lots of frustration.

Sure, I expose my kids to a variety of words like “cow” and “ball”, but I focus on words that will help get those needs met.

I dive a little deeper into this topic in my free masterclass.

Little one working on their language milestones??

👏🏼Let’s do it together!

👋🏼Hi there, I’m Brenda!

As a mom and speech pathologist, I’ve combined love, science, and a whole lot of fun to help you get your little one talking in ways that fit right into your busy life. 🌈✨

I was a mom before I was an SLP. I remember I used to drill my oldest daughter with flashcards, desperately trying to get her to learn new words.

😴It was boring for her and exhausting for me. Talk about a lot of work for not a lot of gain.

After becoming an SLP I had 3 more daughters. And let’s say things went way differently. By the age of 2, all three of them were using 6 word sentences to communicate.

I coached parents on these strategies in private sessions. As I watched more and more families experience success using these strategies I created Tiny Talkers Speech. 

I created Tiny Talkers Speech because I want YOU to experience the same results.

Dive into our Tiny Talkers family and learn just how easy it can be to support your child’s language development.

Drop a hello in the comments and tell me something about you and your little one.

Just want to be real and raw with you. 💗

❓Constantly asking our kids questions can make them feel like they are being quizzed, can take the fun out of playing, and doesn’t teach them anything.

💬Instead turn your questions into comments!

✅Comments provide language model to children and teach kids how to use words in sentences.

👍🏼Asking questions is ok! Just make sure your not asking too many questions!

💬I know we talk often about how many words a child has but communication is more than words!

Communication also consist of eye contact, joint attention, and gestures!

👉🏽If your child is not yet using words it is important to be aware of their nonverbal communication such as gestures and you will notice that your child is in fact communicating!

Comment “checklist” and I’ll DM you a link to my free milestone checklist where you can see a list of milestones (other than word count) that you can look for from 3 months to 3 years old.

👇🏼Make sure you’re doing this when teaching your child sign!👋🏼

Teaching your baby or toddler sign will NOT cause language delay.

In fact, research has shown that using sign language actually increases a child’s verbal skills.

When teaching your baby sign, make sure to always pair the sign with the verbal word and always use the word in the correct context!

Let’s admit it, we all do it! When we want our child to say a word we tell them “Say _____!” in an effort to get them to imitate the word!
✨What’s the big deal with using the word “say”? Telling your child to say something puts pressure on them to talk and may cause them not to talk.
✨Let’s say you want your child to say “shoe” while getting dressed:
🙅🏽‍♀️INSTEAD OF telling your child “Say shoe!”
👍🏽Repeat and model the word “shoe” 3-5 times with pauses in between while putting on their shoe.
✨I know it’s difficult to avoid the word “say”! It definitely was for me!
✨Is this something you struggle with?

❤️Final consonant deletion is a common articulation error made by children.

🗣This error is developmentally appropriate until 3 years old. If your child is older than 3 consider a speech evaluation.
