Family changes like moving, a new sibling, or starting school can shake up a child’s world and that includes how they communicate. It’s common for kids to talk less, get frustrated, or lean on old habits during big transitions.

This blog breaks down why these changes happen and how you can help your child feel heard, supported, and safe during times of change.

Not all kids follow the same path, but there are milestones to keep an eye on. From first coos to simple stories by age 4, speech and language grow fast in those early years.

If things seem off or delayed, early support can make communication easier for your child.

Sound substitutions are a normal part of speech development, especially in toddlers and preschoolers.

However, when these patterns extend into the early school years, they could signal the need for speech-language support. Our team helps families understand what’s expected at each stage and how to support clear communication.

Noticing some sound mix-ups in your little one’s speech? That might be fronting or cluster reduction at play.

🧩 Understanding these patterns helps you know when your child’s speech is developing naturally or when it might be time to check in with a speech-language pathologist.

Kids don’t just learn to talk by sitting still. Running, climbing, jumping, and even playing pretend all help build the brain and body skills that support speech and language.

Emotions are complex but naming them doesn’t have to be. Teaching kids simple words like happy, sad, and mad is the first step toward emotional awareness.

As their vocabulary grows, so does their ability to express how they feel in more meaningful ways.

💬 Every feeling word is a step toward connection.

Storytelling helps build strong language and emotional skills in kids. Through shared moments, books, or family memories, children learn to express themselves, understand emotions, and grow their vocabulary.

You don’t need to be a professional storyteller. A quick recap of your day or using character voices during a bedtime book can go a long way.
