Next stop: the 2-year milestone! 🚂✨

Around age two, many children make huge leaps in communication — using more words, combining them into short phrases, following simple instructions, and showing us more of their thoughts and personality.

Milestones are helpful guides, not strict rules, and every child’s journey looks a little different. 💛

Swipe to learn what communication skills typically emerge around this wonderful age.

Choo choo! Next milestone arriving at 18 months! 🚂💬

This is such an exciting age — little ones often start combining words, exploring new sounds, and using communication to share their world with us.

It’s a time full of curiosity, connection, and so many “did you hear that?!” moments. 💛

Speech and language aren’t the same — but both are super important for communication! 🗣️✨

Speech is how we physically make sounds and words.
Language is how we understand and use words to communicate meaning.

Think of it like this: speech is how you say it, language is what you say. 💛

Understanding the difference helps parents, caregivers, and educators support kids in the best way possible! 🐶🐾🌱

Choo choo! The milestone train has jumped ahead and arrived at age 4! 🚂💬

This stage is full of big conversations, creative storytelling, funny phrases, and lots of curiosity.

Many little ones start using longer sentences, answering more complex questions, and engaging in richer play-based talk.

Such a magical age for communication and imagination! ✨💛

Things speechies really love:

Play sessions that turn into breakthroughs, AAC chats that tell whole stories, stickers that somehow fix everything, and that moment a child says something new and everyone in the room does a tiny happy dance. 💃🕺

We love cheering on progress (no matter how small), celebrating the wins, and finding creative ways to make communication fun. 💬💛

All aboard the milestone train! 🚂✨

At around 12 months, many little ones start showing exciting early communication skills — from recognising familiar words to babbling, copying sounds, and using gestures.

Every child develops at their own pace, but understanding what’s typical can help you support their journey with confidence. 💛🗣️

Stay tuned for more of this series!🐶🐾🌱✨
