Talking Toddlers

What's Normal Anyway? Understanding Developmental Milestones Ep 103


Listen Later

When should my baby be talking? 

Crawling? 

Walking?”


If you’ve ever typed those words into Google at 2 a.m., you’re not alone.

In this episode of Talking Toddlers, Erin tackles one of the most common fears new parents have: Is my baby falling behind? 

With 35+ years in early intervention, she breaks down what developmental milestones really mean, why PROGRESS matters more than perfection.

Research demonstrates that proactive parenting can truly shape your child’s future.

You’ll learn:

  • What milestones are—and what they’re NOT


  • Why “normal” is a range, not a deadline


  • What it means to be a proactive parent (hint: it’s not about perfection)


  • The “3 P’s” approach: Present, Purposeful, Playful


  • Why small daily habits are more powerful than weekly ‘sessions’


  • What to do when progress stalls—and what to avoid

Whether you’re a first-time mom or just looking for clarity and confidence, this episode will help you understand your child’s development without the overwhelm.

I know it can feel overwhelming—especially in a world full of charts, apps, and social media noise.


But you don’t need to know everything. 

You just need to know what matters most.

You’re learning on the job. That’s okay.
You’re asking questions. That’s powerful.
You’re showing up. And that’s what your child needs more than anything.

You are not behind—you’re right on time.

You’ve got this. And I’m here to help you every step of the way.
