If you’ve ever wondered, “Should my child be talking by now?”  or "Is he talking enough?" -- this episode will give you clarity.

Before children use words, they build the skills that make talking possible.

In this episode, I walk you through the 7 stages of play in the first three years—and how each one helps your child learn to talk, listen, and engage.

You’ll learn:

•  What your child should be doing before words 
•  How play builds attention, understanding, and connection 
•  Simple ways to support development in everyday routines 

This is not about doing more.

It’s about understanding what actually matters—and using what you’re already doing at home.
