Did you know?
Speech and language delays are the most common developmental delay in young children affecting about 1 in 6 children under the age of three.
But here’s what most parents aren’t told: children need to build certain communication skills before words can come. If those skills are skipped, talking can feel like it’s taking forever.
This mini-workshop shows you exactly what to do, step by step, to build the foundation your child needs for words to follow — whether they’re an infant just starting out or a toddler who hasn’t started talking yet.
In This Mini-Workshop, You'll Learn:
The 5 Steps to Talking
A clear framework that shows you what to focus on first, second, and third — so you’re never left guessing.
The Skills That Come Before Words
Understand the milestones that need to be in place before your child starts talking — and why jumping ahead can slow progress.
A Simple Roadmap for Parents
Finally feel confident that you’re focusing on the right things at the right time — without getting lost in conflicting advice online.
