Most people mean well.
But this type of reassurance can send your brain into a quiet spiral.

If you’ve ever smiled, nodded, and then gone home thinking
“Okay but… now what?”
—you’re not alone. Many of us have been here.

This stuff is confusing and you’re definitely not overreacting.
If you have a hunch and you’re wondering what to do next that actually means you’re paying attention. And no one knows your child like you do. Trust your gut:)

👉 Save this if you’ve ever smiled politely while spiraling inside. Then reach out to a speech therapist with questions!

It’s almost always said kindly.
And it’s meant to be reassuring.

But for a parent who’s already wondering,
it can leave them feeling more confused than calm.

Because one child’s story isn’t a roadmap for another.
Context matters. Timing matters.
And trusting your gut matters too.

You’re not doing anything wrong by paying attention.
That’s not panic — that’s parenting.

If this comment has ever left you second-guessing yourself, you’re in the right place.

You’ve probably seen Tina around here lately — especially in Little Beats.

She brings a calm, playful presence that kids tend to settle into quickly (and parents usually feel right away). She also helps plan and coordinate the Little Beats sessions, so there’s real intention behind the fun.

I’m really glad she’s part of this space — and you’ll be seeing more of her around here.💜

Grateful for this feature from Richland Source.

Little Beats was created to be a calm, welcoming space for kids and families, and it meant a lot to see it shared this way.💜

Tuesday nights are about to offer a lot more involvement for children, thanks to Northern Star Therapy located at 48 Church Street. Toddlers shake instruments, parents sing along and no one worries about...

Some kids jump right in.
Some watch first.
Some move long before they ever make a sound.

We love any or all of this at Little Beats.

Little Beats is a small, inclusive music & movement class for toddlers and preschoolers where connection comes first — not performance.

We use music, rhythm, repetition, and movement to support communication in a calm, low-pressure way.
No calling on kids.
No “say it again.”
No expectation to keep up.

Just a supportive space where language can grow in its own time.

Our next session starts soon, and spots are limited so the class stays cozy 🤍
If this sounds like your kind of space, you can take a look at the details in the link in my bio — and I’m always happy to answer questions.
