In this episode of Her Guide, we welcome back Adriana Astras, who previously shared her empowering birth story with us. This time, Adriana joins us in her professional role as Co-Director of Creative Minds Therapy to explore paediatric speech and language development. We unpack how children develop communication skills, what is typically expected, and the early signs that may indicate a child could benefit from additional support. Adriana shares guidance for parents, including simple ways to support language development at home, common concerns families experience, and reassurance around the wide range of normal development. An informative and supportive conversation to help parents feel more confident navigating their child’s speech and language journey.

Her Guide

This space was born for women and their village who want more than just surface level advice. We dive deep into our own experiences and real conversations about fertility, pregnancy, motherhood, identity, and everything in between. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating motherhood, or simply seeking honest, compassionate conversations and connection, you belong here.
