We don't have to over-think toddlers. They are pretty straightforward.

Look at their social-emotional growth, their physical development (large and small muscles), then - look at their verbal communication.

In this episode, I continue the 4 real-life cases of 'late talkers.' What types of behaviors do I gather during that first session? How can you do the same?

Questions to ask yourself:

• How connected are we when we play peek-a-boo or a tickle game?
• Does he smile at strangers with purpose?
• Can he attend to a book for 2-5 minutes? (not 'reading" but sharing)
• Does she try to talk?
• Can he follow my lead?
• Am I getting frustrated?
• Did he crawl or just start running?
• Have I ever really just watched him chew?

These types of questions hold a wealth of knowledge and can help lead you to peace of mind.

Listen to learn what information to gathered, so you can know.

All toddlers are different, but knowing what the guidelines mean is going "up stream" before concerns build.
