Finally got my hands on the ultimate Mr. Potato Head toy 🥳

Great way to target just about any speech and language goals including the all time favorite; body parts, verbs and prepositions 🌼

Is your baby turning into a toddler before your eyes?

🙋🏼‍♀️Currently there with baby #2 ( ) and it's even worse than I remember with the first, haha.

Emotions are big, independence is burgeoning, and logic is very limited. You can't always reason with them, but you can embrace a parenting style that encourages calm and cooperation.

Positive discipline has been a total game changer for us. Things aren't perfect, but we have the tools we need to manage challenges with more confidence and ease.

💡How to Grow Remarkable Kids is the online course that taught us everything we know and CHANGED THR CULTURE of our family.

💥The course is 50% off for Small Business Saturday and you won't see it priced this low again! Sale ends at midnight PST. Code: SMALLBIZ50

You'll get access to BOTH the toddler course and the preschool course to learn how to make positive discipline work for your family!

Our tree is Blossoming 🌳🌷🍃

Fun & creative way to introduce sticker charts to the kids! We give them the opportunity to write their own name and chose where to stick their chart 🤩

P. S this DIY tree was made by our very own The Social Work Space 🦋

First Words come in all shapes and sizes!

🐄 Symbolic noises
👏 Exclamations
👵🏻 Names of family members and pets
🤟ASL signs
🗨️ Word approximations

They all count!

We aren't concerned at all about the clarity of speech when kids are just getting started with talking. If they are trying to say words, close counts!

What words are you wanting to teach your child?
Are they already saying some of these?

👇Tell me in the comments!

😂😂 It's true!

Cotton buds can cause an increase in blood pressure in audiologists and speech therapist's bodies. It's true. You can test this theory out by mentioning that you clean inside your ear using cotton buds. You will see the horror on our faces intensify when you mention that you do the same for your baby’s ears. For bonus points, call it an earbud and you'll see smoke come out of our ears.
Jokes aside, using a cotton bud can be dangerous. Your inner ear bones are tiny and can easily be damaged and affect your hearing. You can also pierce your eardrum. These are as sore as they sound!
Also, your ear self cleans so naturally the wax will come to the outer ear. This is what you can see me cleaning in this picture. This is the only place you should use the cotton bud.
No matter how tempted you are, you should never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear 🤣.
