Is your 18-month-old not talking yet, but clearly understands so much of what you say? You're not alone. And the fact they understand so much is a very encouraging sign!

In this episode, Katie and Carly (speech-language pathologists and moms) break down:

• The difference between receptive (understanding) and expressive (talking) language

• What language milestones to expect around 18 months

• What actually counts as a word (hint: more than you think!)

• Three simple ways you can support your toddler's talking right now

• When to seek extra support and why "wait and see" isn't always the best plan

If you've been feeling worried, this conversation will give you practical next steps and lots of reassurance.
