The Talking Toddler Coach|Speech & Language Development, Parent Education, Toddler Activities, Developmental Milestones

Hello amazing Moms and Dads! Do you wonder what typical speech and language development looks like in the toddler years? Are you overwhelmed by frequent tantrums? Have the months crawled by while your little one is on a speech therapy waitlist? Have you tried everything you know to do - ideas from family, friends, online, countless internet searches - and just haven’t seen much progress? Do you wish you had a place to go to for support and helpful tips? Welcome - I’m glad you’re here! I’m Heather Randolph, pediatric Speech Language Pathologist. I’ve had the privilege of working with toddlers and their families since 2011 and saw waitlists increasing in size every year; which meant families were not being served in a timely manner - if at all. This broke my heart! I wanted to create something that was easily accessible with doable content for moms and dads - just like you - who really desire to know how to help their toddler communicate more. This podcast will give you information to know what typical speech and language development looks like, to know when you might need to seek extra support and where to go, along with practical tips and tricks to help you and your child at home. You’ll learn action steps to take that will help you go from feeling overwhelmed to calm, hopeful, and confident. If you’re listening in while commuting to work or folding never ending laundry or - gasp! - you’ve found a quiet corner with a great cup of coffee, let’s get to this!
