Hey Friends~ 

“My child understands everything but doesn’t talk much.” 

“My child talks, but I can’t always tell what they mean.”

If those worries sound familiar, this episode is for you! 

This is Episode 4 in the series When Communication Is Hard, and today we’re exploring expressive and receptive language delays. We’ll untangle what these differences look like so you can better understand what’s happening in your child’s communication, and how everyday moments can become powerful opportunities for language Growth

And of course, you’ll walk away with strategies you can start using today – so grab your pen and paper… and let’s get started!

Always cheering you on!
