Talking Toddlers
As a new mom, don’t you wish you had someone whispering in your ear with practical and trustworthy guidance? Finding clarity can be challenging these days, and the uncertainty seems almost deafening. Talking Toddlers breaks down how our children grow, learn & develop - by building relationships, human connections, and learning through language. I’m Erin Hyer, a licensed speech-language pathologist - and for nearly 35 years I’ve played with kids on the floor, inspired parents to use everyday routines for learning, consulted with early educators, and trained graduate students to move beyond the classroom and “think outside the box.” My purpose is clear - understand how the brain learns to learn, bridge any gaps before they turn into life-long challenges, and keep kids moving forward. I don’t believe in “taking anything for granted” or “leaving it to chance.” Nor do I subscribe to accepting the increasing “new normal.” Parents are in a very special position to create a language-rich home environment & truly guide kids to thrive, to learn through everyday activities, while building confidence, flexibility and a true curiosity for learning. Episodes will bring practical ideas, as well as, some deep dives to help you understand why there are roadblocks? I believe we are more likely to implement strategies and activities or make changes if we know the reasoning behind them. My goal - to help moms feel empowered and toddlers happier. Please join me every Tuesday, Talking Toddlers where moms come for clarity, connection and courage. Stay tuned for amazing interviews, discussions & practical guidance on how Talking Toddlers learn to thrive - at home - with their moms!

Do You Have a Late Talker? Don't Be Fooled!
What makes a Late Talker?
Can we determine who will "grow out of it" and who will not?
Are you asking, "When should you seek advice?"
Many parents (and professionals) misread their toddler simply because they don't know what to look for - you don't know what you don't know!
He's an active boy! He's stubborn! She's shy or apprehensive.
OK, that might be true, but we still expect speech by their second birthday.
Yes, there's a range, but don't be fooled into thinking "all kids figure it out."
In this episode, we cover all those questions and more. I break down the TRUE definition of a Late Talker - what criteria to look for AND what other behaviors (or lack there of) help shape the health and well-being of your beautiful child.
More importantly, I provide a list of "Risk Factors" that will help you determine your next best steps... you can find them by clicking HERE.
