Welcome to Season Two of the Finding Your Village Podcast!!

I am so thankful to Samantha Ecker, who is our guest for today’s show, which is about how you can encourage your child’s speech and language development. Samantha is a speech-language pathologist and a mom of three. She is the creator of Toddler Talking Tips and she believes that, with a little guidance, parents are capable of making a huge difference in how their toddlers communicate. 

In today’s episode we discuss: 

Samantha’s experience as a mom with her children’s speech development

  • First child delayed with gross motor but ahead with language skills
  • Second child delayed with language, ahead with motor

Key principles all parents should know about language development:

  • Input-Output Principle: the more language they hear, the more they learn
  • Low-Pressure Principle: fewer questions and quizzing
  • Primary Skills Principle: there’s a hierarchy to language learning
  • Back Up Principle: meet your child where they are, build on strengths
