Social communication grows through everyday moments, conversations, and connection!

In this carousel, you’ll find simple ways to support pragmatic and social language, including:
- talking about kind vs. hurtful words
- modeling empathy and emotional language
- practicing supportive phrases like “I understand” and “How can I help?”

These small, intentional conversations help children learn how their words affect others, understand emotions, and build meaningful connections!

👉 Save this post to revisit during everyday moments or big feelings.

Hey moms and dads, you don’t need fancy materials to practice speech sounds! You just need paper, markers, and a little creativity!

Try this simple activity at home:
1. Cut out paper hearts and write your child’s target sounds or words on each one
2. Practice sounds while tossing hearts into a bowl, taping them on a wall, or going on a “heart hunt” around the house
3. Say each word 3–5 times before moving on to the next heart

This playful approach encourages repetition, movement, and motivation, which are all key ingredients for articulation practice. 💛

👉 Save this for Valentine’s season (this month) or anytime you want to make speech practice fun.

Reading together is a wonderful way to build language and social skills! I'm not sure about you but I celebrate Valentine's Day all February long!

So this month, we’re loving these books for supporting:
- early language
- social communication
- emotional vocabulary
- connection through shared reading

Each book offers simple ways to pause, talk, and engage your child in meaningful conversation! The best part is there is no extra prep needed!

You can find all of these books linked in our Amazon shopping list via the link in our bio. 💛

👉 Save this post to try one (or all!) during story time!

So... Eiliana's birthday was actually 2/1 which was way at the beginning of the month but at BBST we are celebrating it today 2/17 so she could have 5 full days off!! At BBST, we give our employees a paid day off for their birthday because I (Ruth) believe that birthdays are special and should be celebrated as such! I will be posting an ad out to hire a new SLP soon and if if this is a perk that you would like to have please send your resume to ruth@bebravespeechtherapy.com. Be sure to wish Eiliana a happy birthday when you see her in the office on Wednesday or Thursday!

It’s been a minute since I’ve stepped back into the therapy world since having Elise, but good things come back very quickly! This morning I worked on final consonants with a little one and I was so happy when she could get that final M. The Bjorem speech sound cue cards are my go to when working on speech sound disorders! Now to work on that vowel “o”!

💬 “How long does speech therapy take?”
It’s one of the most common questions we hear and the honest answer is: it depends!

Every child is unique, and therapy timelines vary based on many factors, including:
✨ your child’s individual needs
✨ the goals we’re working toward
✨ consistency of sessions
✨ practice and support outside of therapy

Some children may make progress in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support over a year or more. It's important to remember that progress isn’t a race... it’s about steady growth, confidence, and meaningful communication!

Our role is to meet your child where they are, adjust goals as they grow, and support your family every step of the way!

If you have questions about what therapy might look like for your child, we’re always happy to talk it through.

Cold days and rainy afternoons are the perfect time for simple, play-based language practice at home, no extra prep needed!

Try these everyday activities to build speech and language skills indoors:

🧱 Blocks
• Label colors and sizes
• Practice prepositions (on, under, next to)
• Take turns and give simple directions

🧩 Puzzles
• Name and describe pieces
• Ask “where does it go?”
• Practice problem-solving language

🍳 Play Kitchens
• Expand vocabulary (cook, stir, hot, cold)
• Practice sequencing (first, next, last)
• Encourage pretend play and conversation

Everyday play builds communication when we slow down, model language, and most importantly follow your child’s lead!

👉 Save this post for rainy days and winter afternoons!

We’ve put together a few Amazon lists with some of our favorite tools for supporting speech, language, and play at home.

These are items we love using in sessions, simple, engaging, and easy to incorporate into everyday routines.

You’ll find things like:
• books we love for language
• toys that encourage turn-taking and conversation
• simple play items that support vocabulary and engagement

👉 You can shop our favorite finds through the link in our bio.

As always, you DON'T need anything fancy to support communication, BUT if you’re looking for ideas, we hope this helps!

One simple way to support language growth is by expanding what your child already says!

When your child uses one word, repeat it back and add just one more word.
This shows them how words work together, without pressure or correction.

For example:
Child: “Car”
Adult: “Fast car”

This small shift helps build sentence length, vocabulary, and confidence over time.

👉 Try this today during play, meals, or reading time!

Reading together is one of the easiest (and most meaningful) ways to support communication! This month, we’re loving these 3 books for building language, emotional awareness, and connection:

🐻 We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Great for: repetition, sequencing, prepositions, and movement-based language
Try: acting out the story and using words like over, under, through

😊 The Way I Feel
Great for: emotional vocabulary and self-expression
Try: naming feelings and connecting them to real-life experiences

🐸 Frog and Toad Storybook Favorites
Great for: conversation skills, friendship themes, and story retell
Try: talking about what each character is thinking or feeling

A few minutes of shared reading can build vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence! Try them out and list out a couple of your faves!

Getting a jumpstart on Valentine’s Day books for your little ones! Found this goodie at the airport and had to read it to Elise! It’s great if you’re working on peekaboo. Who doesn’t love an Eric Carle book!
