“We’ll just wait until he starts school…” 😬
It’s a phrase I hear far too often and it could cost your child the critical support they need.

Speech and language delays don’t just “sort themselves out.” In fact, early years are the best time to get help.

📉 Delaying support can lead to struggles in learning, socializing, and confidence.
📈 Acting early leads to faster progress and a happier, more connected child.

💬 If your gut says something’s off, trust it. Don’t wait. Early intervention works.

The Joy of Pottering at Home

I spent today just pottering at home with my babies. A rare occasion, as we usually always have plans to get out somewhere. But after a big weekend, I knew we would all be better staying at home.

And here’s the reality.. I had no fancy activities. No big plans. Just slow moments — folding washing, tidying up, making snacks.

And do you know what? These days are gold for language development.

While we stacked blocks, I described what we were building. When we made lunch, I named all the ingredients. I repeated his little words and added a bit more.

Nothing extra on my to-do list. Just everyday chats turning into powerful moments.

So if you’re feeling guilty for not doing “enough” — remember, you already are. Ordinary moments grow extraordinary little talkers. 🌿💛✨

Why I let my toddler watch Teletubbies and (don’t feel bad about it!)

As a Speech and Language Therapist, I know Teletubbies isn’t the best language model on its own, but that’s not what I use it for.

📺 It’s not the TV’s job to teach him to talk — that’s my job!
👀 We watch together and I talk about what we see.
🗣️ I use the show as a springboard for new words and fun interactions.

Cillian loves the colours, movement and actions, so it’s a perfect chance for me to model language with him.

We’ve all heard it: “Just wait for the terrible twos…”
But what if I told you it has been my favourite age so far 🙊

Toddlers at this age are learning so much: how to say what they want, how to do things on their own, and how to handle huge feelings in a tiny body. Of course that’s going to come with challenges which aren’t not always easy, for them or for us.

But when we expect “terrible,” we miss the good stuff: the curiosity, the new words, the funny moments, the cuddles, and the way they see the world.

Two is messy and amazing all at once. Let’s not rush to label it.

What’s one thing you actually enjoy about this stage? I’d love to hear. 💛👇

This photo was taken about 48 hours before I got one of the worst vomiting bugs I’ve ever had, definitely the worst since the kids were born 🤢
And what did that look like?

The house? Chaos.
The kids? Extra clingy.
Dinner? Who knows.
Laundry? Mount Everest.

It’s funny (well, not at the time) how quickly you realise just how much we hold together , even when we’re running on empty.

I spent hours feeling guilty for not being able to get up and keep everything ticking, but the truth is: I needed the rest, even escaping to my mum and dads for a few hours to sleep! BUT.. the world didn’t end, the kids survived on toast and TV, and life carried on.

So, if you’re reading this and you’ve been running yourself ragged, here’s your sign:
Do ONE thing this week just for you.
It doesn’t have to be big, maybe a hot cup of tea you drink while it’s still warm, 10 minutes with a book, a walk outside alone. You deserve it.

💕 Share in the comments what your ‘one thing’ will be this week and I’ll share mine too

You’re doing amazing. Keep going.

Yesterday my 2-year-old woke up from his nap very deregulated,asking for TV right away (as toddlers often do when their brains are still foggy). I knew giving in would likely make things worse when it came time to turn it off, so I gently redirected him to his magnetic tiles instead. He then played with them independently for 15 minutes (!) and then joined in with some household tasks while coming out of his mood.

Why this matters:
Screens offer quick comfort, but for toddlers, they often short-circuit real regulation skills. Open-ended play (like with magnetic tiles) builds focus, problem-solving, and creativity. Plus, joining in on everyday tasks supports language development through real conversation and connection

Introducing your child to classroom vocabulary before their first year of school builds confidence, boosts language skills, and eases the transition into a new environment. Use this worksheet with labeled images to make learning fun and familiar.

✅ Tips:
• Point to and name each object together.
• Play “I Spy” using the worksheet.
• Match real items at home to the pictures.
• Practice saying and using each word in simple sentences.
