Why I created my digital course, The Tiny Talker Playbook
With all of the noise out there, I wanted to share my story and why I created my digital course for toddler parents
When I took my son to his 18-month well visit, the pediatrician asked me a question that I’ll never forget:
"Does he have six words?"
As a pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) with over 15 years of experience, I knew something most parents don’t:
At 18 months, the expected milestone isn’t 6 words—it's at least 10 words, and many toddlers average around 50 wordsby that age.
Still, I asked for clarification.
And the pediatrician responded:
“Six words means your son is on the right track.”
That moment struck me deeply—not just as an SLP, but as a mom.
Because I knew the truth: Six words at 18 months isn't the full story. And many parents, without the right information, would never even know to ask.
The "Wait and See" Dilemma
In the months that followed, I kept hearing similar stories from friends, clients, and parents in my community:
"Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?"
"Why did they tell me to wait and see?"
"Why didn’t I know what to look for?"
The reality is, many parents are reassured too quickly—without being given the tools, knowledge, or support they need to recognize when early intervention could make all the difference.
And that’s why I created The Tiny Talker Playbook.
A Proactive Approach to Toddler Speech Development
As both a speech therapist and a toddler mom, I believe in being proactive, not reactive.
I believe parents deserve real information, real strategies, and real confidence—before speech challenges snowball into bigger frustrations.
The Tiny Talker Playbook was built for parents who want:
Clear, research-backed information about speech and language milestones
Easy-to-follow strategies to help their child start talking more
Tools to boost communication naturally through play, routines, and daily life
Confidence to know when to relax—and when to seek extra support
This course isn't overwhelming.
It's not full of jargon.
It's everything you need to feel empowered and start seeing real progress—even if your child isn't using many words yet.

The course includes six carefully designed modules covering:
✏️ How speech and language actually develop (and what’s normal)

✏️ Everyday strategies that encourage talking (without pressure)
