✨ Want to boost your child’s speech and language skills in a simple, everyday way? Try adding visual cues. Kids learn best when they can see what words mean.

Think:
👋 A wave when you say “bye-bye”
📦 Pointing to objects as you name them
😊 Exaggerated facial expressions for new sounds
🖼️ Pictures or gestures to support new vocabulary

Visual cues give kids an extra anchor to understand, remember, and use language. Tiny tweaks, big impact.

You’re not just teaching words — you’re helping their brain make connections that stick. 🌱💬

Playing First Orchard and Orchard by HABA isn’t just fun—it’s foundational learning in disguise 🍎🌈
These games build early cooperation skills, color recognition, counting, and turn‑taking, all while giving little ones the joy of working together instead of competing.
Small hands, big learning moments. 🧺✨

Who else wants a crystal ball?! 🔮 🙋‍♀️
SO many of our parents ask us if their child will grow out of their speech sound errors. Long story short, it really depends on a lot of factors. A couple of things we think are important to remember:

1. The tongue is a muscle (so the earlier we can teach it the correct movements the BETTER!) 😃
2. The brain remembers what it does the most (we don't want to have to undo habits to learn new ones, better to start with the right pattern from the get go!) 🧠
3. If you feel like your child makes unusual or "wonky" speech sounds, you're probably right. If it feels like their "own language", it's best to seek support early! 👏
Want to know our thoughts about your child's errors specifically?! Reach out! We're always here to help! 👍

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 🎄🎁 🎅
Kasey popping on here to introduce myself and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are so grateful to be here and show up for you all! If we haven’t met yet, here’s a few recent pictures of me along with some random facts!
🪩 Family and friends tell me New Years Eve is my favorite holiday, I have to admit I’m a sucker for a good resolution
🤧 I hardly EVER get sick, one of the perks of always being around kiddos
🎢 I love a good thrill ride and I’m always about having fun and playing
Thought I’d show you some pictures Michael got me as a gift for my birthday this year, an AMAZING bagel (let me know if you’re in the Phoenix area 😋 ), and me making work videos in my car with my crazy christmas earrings! 🤪

✨ Modeling LOUD and PROUD ✨ �
When you talk with your child, emphasize key words to make them stand out.
For example: �
➡️ “We are rolling the dough.”
�➡️ “Let’s decorate the ornament.”
Highlighting important words helps kids learn vocabulary and understand meaning in real-life contexts. 💬

Tip: Slow down, stress the word, and repeat it naturally during play or crafts.
🎄 Try it while making holiday salt dough ornaments for a fun, language-rich activity!

✨ Unlock the Power of Deductive Reasoning for Speech & Language Development! ✨
Games like Outfoxed, Guess Who, and Hedbanz aren’t just fun—they’re incredible tools for building communication skills! 🧠💬
Here’s why they work:
✅ Vocabulary Growth – Kids learn new words while describing clues and asking questions.
�✅ Sentence Structure – Formulating yes/no questions and explanations strengthens grammar. �✅ Critical Thinking – Deductive reasoning teaches logical sequencing and problem-solving. �
✅ Social Skills – Turn-taking and active listening make conversations more natural and engaging.
🎲 Next time you play, remember: every question asked and every clue solved is a step toward stronger language skills!
💡 Tip: Encourage kids to use complete sentences and descriptive words during play for maximum benefit.

🎉 Big Language Leap at Age 3! 🎉
Your toddler’s words are turning into sentences! By 3 years old, most kids can:
✨ Say 3-4 word phrases like “I want juice.”
✨ Ask questions (“Where’s my toy?”)
✨ Understand simple concepts like big/small
✨ Follow two-step directions (“Pick up your shoes and put them away.”)

💡 Parent Tip: Chat all day! Narrate what you’re doing, read books, and ask questions. Every word counts!
🚩 When to check in for some help: If your child uses fewer than 100 words or isn’t combining words yet, reach out to a speech-language professional.

Well at least he used his good /sk/ blend! 😂

Hey Guys, it’s me Hannah! 👋
I can’t believe fall is already back and in full swing! I spent my summer celebrating wedding season, enjoying the warm weather on our nightly walks and curating the perfect summer TBR!
What’s on your reading list this fall?

Breaking things apart isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful tool for speech and language development! 🧠🗣️
When kids take things apart, they’re building problem-solving skills, expanding vocabulary, and learning how things work—one piece at a time.
✨ Tips for Parents:
Break apart phrases like “My turn” and “train”
Separate sounds like “S” and “top” for “stop!”
Try to cut up foods that your child isn’t willing to eat yet into smaller pieces!

🌀 Vestibular play = brain + body boost! Toys that spin, swing, rock, or bounce aren’t just fun — they support balance, coordination, attention, and emotional regulation.
From wobble boards to swings and scooters, these movement-rich toys help kids develop strong sensory foundations for learning and self-regulation.
✨ Movement is medicine for growing minds!
