Hey Guys, it’s me Hannah! 👋
I can’t believe fall is already back and in full swing! I spent my summer celebrating wedding season, enjoying the warm weather on our nightly walks and curating the perfect summer TBR!
What’s on your reading list this fall?

Breaking things apart isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful tool for speech and language development! 🧠🗣️
When kids take things apart, they’re building problem-solving skills, expanding vocabulary, and learning how things work—one piece at a time.
✨ Tips for Parents:
Break apart phrases like “My turn” and “train”
Separate sounds like “S” and “top” for “stop!”
Try to cut up foods that your child isn’t willing to eat yet into smaller pieces!

🌀 Vestibular play = brain + body boost! Toys that spin, swing, rock, or bounce aren’t just fun — they support balance, coordination, attention, and emotional regulation.
From wobble boards to swings and scooters, these movement-rich toys help kids develop strong sensory foundations for learning and self-regulation.
✨ Movement is medicine for growing minds!

Kids come up with the best solutions, maybe we should start asking them for the answers to our problems 😆

Hi everyone! I’m Savannah Lenarz, and I’m super excited to be joining the Family Chatterbox team. 👋
A bit about me - when not working, I enjoy traveling with family and friends, spending time at the cabin, hanging out with my dogs, golfing, trying new recipes, and a good game night. 😀
I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and continuing to grow here at Family Chatterbox. 👏

✨ Parenting Tip for Language Growth! ✨
Want to boost your child’s speech and language skills? Try offering choices throughout the day! 🗣️💬 Instead of asking, “Do you want a snack?” say, “Do you want apple slices or crackers?” 🍎🍪
Giving kids options helps them learn new words, express preferences, and feel empowered to communicate. 💡 Small choices = big language wins! 💬👏

🧠✨ Did you know that playing with toys like ring stackers, shape sorters, and puzzles can boost your child’s speech and language development?
These hands-on activities help kids:
🔸 Learn new words (colors, shapes, sizes!)
🔸 Practice following directions
🔸 Build problem-solving and turn-taking skills
🔸 Strengthen fine motor coordination—key for gestures and early communication
Play is powerful—and simple toys can spark BIG learning moments. 💬👶 Try narrating what your child is doing while they play to build vocabulary and connection!

✨ Speech Sound Milestones: R, L & TH ✨ Wondering when your little one should start saying tricky sounds like R, L, and TH? You're not alone! Here's a quick guide:
👅 L – Typically develops around 4–5 years but help practice by putting the pointy part of your tongue up BEHIND your front teeth
🐯 R – Often mastered by 6–7 years, help practice the ROAR sound!
🦷 TH – Usually emerges between 6–8 years, help your child practice putting their tongue between their teeth and blowing/buzzing air!
Every child develops at their own pace, but if you're unsure or have concerns, a speech-language pathologist can help! 💬💛

This summer will be 5 years at Family Chatterbox for me, Lauren! 👏 🎉
I have loved getting to know so many families, collaborating with other professionals across the Twin Cities, becoming certified in DIR Floortime, and taking formal training in SOS Approach to Feeding, gestalt language processing, orofacial myofunctional therapy, and oral placement therapy.
I’ve been enjoying time with my partner and our puppy, traveling, and celebrating speech graduations! 😊

Struggling to help your little ones follow directions? Does it seem that transitions are always a challenge?! 😤😩
Try adding a visual component to whatever you’re doing to help your child match what they hear with something they can see! Research shows that ~80% of the information that we are learning is taken in from our vision! 👀
This can be as simple as snapping a picture on your phone, drawing a little picture, or even printing out a visual to help with something that happens regularly! Even better…use real life objects to help children learn!
