You Didn’t Cause Your Toddler’s Delay.
But You Can Help Them Catch Up!
IN SPEECH THERAPY
Your toddler’s delay is not your fault. (We really can’t say that enough!) But there’s a lot you can do to support them as they work to catch up.
Here’s what we recommend:
Read through the toddler communication milestones linked below.
Learn as much as you can about language development.
Get support for you. This can be hard, but you’re not alone.
PERFECT FOR YOU:
Songs + Stories Membership
Support what your child is learning in speech therapy with educational screen time videos taught by speech-language pathologists!
Our library storytime-style videos are designed to support language and literacy development. They’ll help your child make progress on goals like expanding vocabulary, speaking in sentences, asking and answering questions, and using greetings. And, they’ll give you a guilt-free break, too!
IN CASE YOU’VE BEEN WONDERING…
Your Child’s Delay Is Not Your Fault
Hey there! We’re Katie and Carly, the speech therapists behind Wee Talkers.
Together, we have 6 kids and over 25 years of experience working in pediatrics. So hear us when we say that it’s not your fault if your little one has a communication delay.
We wish we could hug you, look you in the eye, and tell you this face-to-face. Because we know self-doubt and blame can be loud, but we want the message that you are a fantastic parent to be even louder.
We don’t expect that just saying “it’s not your fault” will instantly make all your feelings about your child's delay go away. We know it’s more complicated than that. But, we do hope it helps to hear that you’re not alone.
If you haven’t found a community of parents yet, check out Wee Talkers on Instagram. There are so many families of children with communication delays hanging out with us there!
