What should you do if your toddler isn't talking?

Here’s the truth… 👇🏼 First, if you want to learn what communication milestones to look for from birth until 4 years old get my free milestone checklist. https://www.tinytalkersspeech.com/mil... If you go to the pediatrician because you’re concerned about your child’s language skills more than likely you will get the following advice… “Wait until they are 2-3 and if they are still not talking then we will reach out to a speech therapist.” Meanwhile I’m here from the corner of my internet trying to make parents aware of the risks in waiting. Unfortunately, many people still tell me… “well my Dr told me to wait so I’m just going to wait until he’s 2 or 3.” 😭 Just a friendly reminder that speech therapist are the experts in language development. We study language development for 7 years! 🙃 After all that work people still want to take other’s advice over ours. 🫠 How long should you wait? 👇🏼 Whenever your child is not meeting their milestones is when you look for support. Whether your child is 3 months, 12 months, 18 months. It doesn’t matter. From 0-3 your child’s brain is the most adaptable. This is a critical time for brain development! This is why I advise against the wait and see method. The more you wait the bigger the gap in delay can become and the harder it can be to catch up. And why wait when supporting your child’s language development is soooooo easy!
