In this episode I remind moms to put on your oxygen mask first ... As the summer comes to an end and we start to transition back to school schedules, whatever that may look like for you and your family, change is hard. Give yourself time to adjust. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with your family. Be patient with your little ones. Be realistic. This episode is a reminder that parenting is a journey and you are learning-on-the-job. There is no perfect path ... stay open to growth and exploring new ideas. I set the stage for future episodes and programs to be announced centered around LEARNING THROUGH PLAY, Why Kids Tantrum, and what the heck is BOREDOM?

Mom, put on your oxygen mask first, please!

Calm, developmentally grounded guidance for moms of babies and toddlers. As a mom of a baby or toddler, it can feel like everyone has an opinion - and very few answers that actually make things clearer. The noise is loud. The pressure is real. And the uncertainty can be exhausting. Talking Toddlers is a podcast for moms who want calm, trustworthy, developmentally grounded guidance - without fear, guilt, or unrealistic expectations. I’m Erin Hyer, a licensed speech-language pathologist with nearly 35 years of experience supporting young children and their families. I’ve spent my career on the floor with toddlers, partnering with parents, consulting with early educators, and training graduate students to understand how children truly grow, learn, and communicate - through relationships, everyday routines, and meaningful language experiences. This podcast breaks down how the young brain learns, why certain behaviors or challenges show up, and how parents can gently support development before small concerns become bigger ones. I believe parents are in a powerful position — not to do more, but to understand more. Each episode offers: <ul><li>Practical, real-life strategies you can use during everyday routines</li></ul> <ul><li>Gentle explanations of the why behind toddler behavior and development</li></ul> <ul><li>Supportive conversations that help you feel less alone and more confident</li></ul> My goal is simple: to help moms feel empowered and toddlers feel supported - so learning, communication, and connection can grow naturally at home. New episodes of Talking Toddlers are released weekly.&nbsp; This is a space for clarity, connection, and courage - where moms come to slow down, trust themselves, and support their child’s development with confidence.
