Sharing a resource for families with a child who could benefit from technology to communicate. So many options, and companies that offer support for families, before and after a child receives a communication device, are my favorite! Wrap around support makes all the difference!

Daily reading isn’t just a “nice habit.” It’s one of the most evidence-based ways to support language, attention, and learning in early childhood.

When children hear repeated words in meaningful stories, their brains build stronger neural connections for vocabulary, comprehension, and expressive language. When a caregiver pauses, asks questions, or follows a child’s interest in a book, it strengthens shared attention and social communication - skills that come before talking.

Consistency matters more than duration. Short, predictable reading routines help children anticipate language, regulate attention, and engage more deeply over time.

Reading also creates a low-pressure space for learning. There’s no demand to perform, just opportunities to listen, observe, interact, and connect.

If you’re wondering how to support language at home in a way that actually works, start here. Small daily reading moments build skills that last far beyond the page. 📖✨

Meltdowns aren’t a setback in language development - they’re a window into regulation.

When a child is overwhelmed, their brain isn’t ready for questions, corrections, or “use your words.” In those moments, language support looks different: presence over prompts, connection over correction.

Name what you see. Slow your own voice. Reduce demands. Your calm becomes the bridge back to communication.

Supporting language during meltdowns isn’t about teaching more, it’s about helping the nervous system feel safe enough to try again.

If you’re navigating frequent meltdowns and wondering how to support communication in those moments, our team is here to help. Our team at Now You’re Talking Speech-Language Pathology offers thoughtful, evidence-based support to help families navigate communication with confidence.

Save this for the hard moments. You’re doing more than you think! 🤩

If birthdays, gift shopping, or finances feel overwhelming, here’s your reminder: Language grows through interaction, not instruction and expensive toys.
�Evidence-based speech and language research supports what many parents already see every day: children learn best when play is shared, simple, and responsive.
�Speech and language development happens in the moments you already have - while cooking, folding laundry, building forts, or playing on the floor. Everyday household items support vocabulary, attention, early problem-solving, and social connection when a caregiver is present, engaged, and following their child’s lead.
�Parents and families: You are not missing anything. You already have what your child needs. ❤️ You are your child’s best teacher, and the simplest moments often matter the most.��✅Save this post for later and share it with someone who needs the reminder.

Little known fact: The good part is the journey; the smiles, ah-ha’s, the tears of joy hearing the first word, sound, and even receiving the first gesture or picture. It’s all the highs and lows that shape us into parents who fight for our children’s communication, practice, play with intent, and stand beside them on the journey. We are proud to guide and stand with you. 🩷

Every parent wants to hear that first word. But what if talking isn’t the first step?

Before words ever come, your child needs a reason to want to communicate - to be seen, heard, and connected. That’s where speech truly begins.

It’s not about drilling, prompting, or “say this.” It’s about curiosity, joy, and opportunities that make your child light up and lean in.

When you pause, play, and share laughter, you’re doing more for speech than any flashcard ever could. Connection always comes before communication. 💛

If you’ve been trying everything and wondering why the words aren’t coming, start here!
✨ Motivation before imitation.
✨ Joy before words.
✨ Opportunities, not pressure.

Follow for small shifts that lead to big breakthroughs - the kind that start with connection and end with communication.

If your child’s “no,” tears, or silence leave you feeling helpless, you’re not alone.

What looks like defiance is often a child doing their best to cope.

“No” can mean, “I need control.”
Crying can mean, “I’m overwhelmed.”
Not listening can mean, “My brain is full.”

When you respond with patience instead of pressure, something shifts.
You teach them that their feelings aren’t “too much.”
You show them that they can come to you, even when it’s hard.

Gentle reminder: Connection helps more than correction. 💛
Every meltdown or refusal is your child saying, “Please understand me.”

When you meet them there - calmly, compassionately - you’re not just managing behavior. You’re building communication, trust, and emotional safety. That’s where language truly begins.

✨ If you’re ready to understand what your child’s behavior is really saying and how to turn frustration into communication - send us a DM today for practical tools that make connection easier every day.
