The SLP Mom Podcast
How do I get my toddler talking? Is my toddler delayed? How do I keep my child entertained in the car? What activities help language development?
And the biggest question…how do I keep my sanity as a mother through it all? Whether you’re a mom Googling all the things about child development, or curious about activities that will encourage speech and language, this podcast is for you.
The SLP Mom podcast is a weekly show packed with value:
- Answering all your questions and concerns about your child’s speech and language development.
I’m Erin Larsen, a pediatric speech-language pathologist, and I LOVE this age group. I’ve worked in early intervention and early childhood for years, and my favorite part of my job is connecting with parents and teaching them that THEY are their child’s best toy. I look forward to connecting with each and every one of you!

My Toddler Understands Everything But Isn’t Talking Much
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Does your toddler seem to understand everything you say… but still isn’t talking much yet?
Maybe they follow directions, point to things you name, and clearly understand what’s going on around them — but when it comes to using words themselves, it feels like not much is happening.
If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about:
- why understanding language is actually a really positive sign
- the difference between receptive and expressive language
- common reasons toddlers understand more than they say
- why pressure can sometimes slow communication down
- and simple ways to support language during everyday moments
I’ll also walk you through what actually helps toddlers learn to communicate — without turning your home into a speech therapy session or adding more pressure to your day.
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:
“Shouldn’t my toddler be talking more by now?”
I hope this episode feels like a deep exhale, mama.
You’re not failing your child.
And you do not need to do this perfectly.
💛 Small, intentional moments really do matter.
