You Already Do the Most Important Thing — You Just Don't Know Why Ep 162

You've been narrating everything. Labeling. Reading. Filling the room with language. 

And nothing seems to be sticking.

That's because your words only land when your child's attention and yours are on the same thing, in the same moment. 

It's called shared attention — and you're already doing it without knowing how much it matters.

In this episode I unpack what shared attention actually looks like between 12 and 24 months, the difference between a request and a shared moment, the connection to autism screening, and the one shift that makes your words actually land. Plus the discipline of the wait — counting to five so your child's brain has room to respond.

One skill. One shift. Two minutes a day.
