The 4 Building Blocks of Speech Development – Part 1

Long before your toddler says their first real word, two powerful foundations (milestones) must already be in place: interaction and understanding.

These aren’t “nice to have” skills — they are non-negotiable building blocks for speech, language, connection, and future learning. 

Yet so many parents are told to wait and see, when in fact, there’s so much YOU can do now.

In this episode, Erin shares:

• The first two building blocks of speech development
• Why interaction (shared attention) is the starting line
• How understanding language comes before using it
• How development is dynamic (not linear!)
• The red flags parents often miss
• What to change at home right now if you’re noticing signs of delay (or just want to keep him on track)
• And how to recognize real progress — even before words appear

You’ll leave feeling more empowered, more aware, and ready to take action — not out of fear, but from a place of clarity and confidence.
