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
