Noticing some sound mix-ups in your little one’s speech? That might be fronting or cluster reduction at play.

Emotions are complex but naming them doesn’t have to be. Teaching kids simple words like happy, sad, and mad is the first step toward emotional awareness.

As their vocabulary grows, so does their ability to express how they feel in more meaningful ways.

💬 Every feeling word is a step toward connection.

Storytelling helps build strong language and emotional skills in kids. Through shared moments, books, or family memories, children learn to express themselves, understand emotions, and grow their vocabulary.

You don’t need to be a professional storyteller. A quick recap of your day or using character voices during a bedtime book can go a long way.

It’s normal for kids to develop language at different speeds, but there are certain signs that may signal your child needs a little extra support. Things like not babbling by 15 months, struggling to follow simple directions, or getting easily frustrated when trying to talk can all be early red flags.

The good news? Catching these signs early can make a big difference. Speech therapy can help build language skills, boost confidence, and make daily communication easier for everyone.

We’ve put together a helpful guide to show what typical milestones look like and when it might be time to get a professional opinion.
