Frustrated parents regularly tell me their pediatrician “wasn’t worried” when they brought up that their child wasn’t talking yet. Their concerns were brushed off and they were told not to worry. But the parents WERE worried. Their child couldn’t tell them when they were hungry, what they wanted to eat or why they were upset. Their child was also frustrated. They couldn’t tell their friends to give their toy back when they took it away. They couldn’t answer the teacher’s questions like their friends. So why do pediatricians continue to tell parents “let’s just see if it gets better on its own”? I’m not sure. If a parent brings up concerns to me, it’s usually because they have legitimate reasons. That’s why I created my 10 Speech/Language Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician freebie! I want to empower parents to ask the right questions to get more than the “wait and see” answer.

The question I see in all my mom FB groups. “How do I get my son/daughter to talk?” A few of my go-to tips:

1. Label what your child is playing with multiple times
2. Hold items up by your face as you label them
3. Reduce the amount of questions you ask and replace them with comments.

Need a last minute teacher gift idea that feels thoughtful and not just thrown together? 🎄✏️

When my daughter was in preschool, I filled a small basket with simple, practical items (things they’ll actually use) and attached this message explaining why each item is included. It turns everyday items (mostly from Dollar Tree!) into something personal and heartfelt — and lets teachers know just how appreciated they are.

Comment “Christmas letter” if you want the editable letter. Don’t forget to send to a fellow mama! 💌

Honestly proud that ChatGPT said 2 because I’ve been working really hard on that 🤓. What surprised you or didn’t surprise you the most? 9 was on my strengths finder profile so that didn’t surprise me that it showed up here.
