Is extra screen time during the holidays going to cause a speech delay? Parents ask this every year, and we get into it here. In this episode, pediatric speech-language pathologist and mom of four, Erin Larsen, explains why holiday screen time isn’t something to stress about and what actually supports your child’s communication skills during busy seasons.

You’ll learn what really causes speech delays, how to keep your toddler’s language development on track during routine changes, and simple ways to model language while still surviving the holiday chaos. Erin also shares easy, low-pressure strategies that fit naturally into your day-no structured activities, no guilt, and no pressure to “do more.”

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, worried, or guilty about screen time this season, this episode will bring reassurance, clarity, and practical language-boosting tips you can use right away.
