✨ 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.

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!

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!

Hi everyone! I’m Savannah Lenarz, and I’m super excited to be joining the Family Chatterbox team. 👋
A bit about me - when not working, I enjoy traveling with family and friends, spending time at the cabin, hanging out with my dogs, golfing, trying new recipes, and a good game night. 😀

✨ Parenting Tip for Language Growth! ✨
Want to boost your child’s speech and language skills? Try offering choices throughout the day! 🗣️💬 Instead of asking, “Do you want a snack?” say, “Do you want apple slices or crackers?” 🍎🍪
Giving kids options helps them learn new words, express preferences, and feel empowered to communicate. 💡 Small choices = big language wins! 💬👏
