“Say toothbrush! Is this your toothbrush? Can yo “Say toothbrush! Is this your toothbrush? Can you say toothbrush 🪥?” 🚫🙅🏻‍♀️ Less demands and questions for our toddlers = less pressure for them to communicate. Stick to parallel talk (narrating what they’re doing) and self talk (narrating what you’re doing) 👍🏼😊. #speechtherapyideas #earlyintervention #speechlanguagepathologist #toddlermom #talktea
Don’t force hugs 🙅🏻‍♀️🚫. I think Don’t force hugs 🙅🏻‍♀️🚫. I think it’s important to teach our children at a young age that they have autonomy over their own bodies & if they don’t feel safe, they should be heard when they voice it. 🩵 #earlyintervention #parenting #toddlerlife #firsttimemommy #slp
Less questions ➡️ more communication attempts Less questions ➡️ more communication attempts 🙌🏼. Why? It’s less pressure for our little ones! 🩵 When they don’t feel like they’re being tested, they can then feel more comfortable to initiate communication without being “wrong”. Try reducing the number of questions you ask and providing verbal models to see if that helps your toddler communicate more ✨🥰. #toddlercommunication #speechlanguagepathologist #earlyinterventionslp #firsttimemama #toddleractivities #toddlermeals
☕️ Need help around the house? Put your toddle ☕️ Need help around the house? Put your toddlers to work! 🙌🏼 Haha just kidding (mostly), but there are many opportunities to incorporate speech/language skills during household chores like laundry! 👗👖🧦 ✨You can: -Label familiar items: basket, shirt, pants, socks, water, bubbles; -Use action words: open, pour, close it, splash, weee, push, put in, take out; -Ask wh-questions (…sparingly 😅): where is your shirt?, where do you wear your socks? ☕️Our little ones loved to be involved and feel helpful! 🥹 Let them push/pull the laundry basket, help you fill the washing machine, push buttons, etc. 🤗 🎙️I talk about other ways to incorporate speech/language strategies in daily routines on the Talk Tea Podcast (episodes #34 & #41). 😊 🎧You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, & more).

1️⃣year of the Talk Tea Podcast already?! “W 1️⃣year of the Talk Tea Podcast already?! “Woah” as my toddler would say 😅. It went by so fast! I love sitting down each week & sharing different speech/parenting/toddler topics in a way that I can’t in a 30 second IG reel. It’s been challenging & fun at the same time to figure out all the logistics of recording and how surprisingly difficult it is to talk by myself…never thought that would be an issue 😳🤣. If you’ve listened to any of the episodes, I thank you & appreciate you so much! 🥹 If you haven’t listened, you can find the Talk Tea Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, & more. Link in my bio if you don’t want to search for it. 🙂‍↔️ Thank you for listening! 🎧🩵☕️ #talktea #podcastepisode #parentinghacks #speechtherapy #toddlerparenting
I get this question all the time: “Are we confus I get this question all the time: “Are we confusing our child by speaking multiple languages at home?” The answer is no 🙅🏻‍♀️! Our children are able to code switch and alternate between various languages. Continue to embrace all of your languages and share them with your child 🤗🩵! #bilingual #earlyintervention #speechtherapist #multilingual #toddlerplayideas
