Your not-so-talkative toddler may have you worried about whether his or her speech skills are developing the way they should be.

While every toddler grows and develops at their own rate, speech skills are one thing that can cause us to worry when lacking.

Should they be talking more at their age? How many words should they be saying now? When is it time to see a specialist? How can I help my toddler increase their vocabulary?

Pediatric speech therapist, Jessie Kensey, answers these questions and more in this episode as she and Heather chat all about how to get our toddlers talking more!

From understanding how and when toddler speech develops to strategies for supporting your toddler's speech development and what to avoid, you'll finish this episode with the all the tools you'll need to help your toddler start talking more and help yourself worry less!

About Jessie: She is the mom to an energetic, amazing 1-year-old and a pediatric speech language pathologist. Prior to becoming a speech therapist, she worked as a high school English teacher and, since the birth of her son, has decided to mesh the two worlds of teaching and speech to support families of toddlers.
