Speech and language development can raise many questions for parents trying to figure out if their child is reaching milestones or if they may need extra support with their speech. This can cause parents a lot of worry and stress as they try to determine what is considered typical at different ages. Speech-Language pathologist Melissa Minney is joining me today to discuss common speech concerns parents have.

Melissa Minney is a speech-language pathologist, mommy of 3, and the founder of Raising Little Talkers. She teaches parents of babies and toddlers how to get their child to talk during their everyday interactions at home. She is obsessed with educating parents--not only to catch their child up, but to prevent delays before they start.

Melissa and I talk about foundational language skills that you can look out for if your toddler isn't using words yet, how parents can make a difference at home, and stuttering during childhood. We also discuss some of the most common speech issues Melissa sees in early childhood, what sounds develop later, and much more.
