Myth-Busting: "Boys talk later than girls, so don't worry" Let's talk about this one - because there's a grain of truth that gets misused. The nuance: Yes, research shows boys on average develop language slightly later than girls - we're talking about 1-2 months difference in early milestones. But this is a statistical average across thousands of children, and is taken into account when we look at milestones research. What this doesn't mean: - It's not a reason to wait indefinitely for support - A 2.5-year-old boy with fewer than 50 words still needs evaluation - "He's a boy" shouldn't delay getting help What matters more than gender: - Individual variation is MUCH larger than gender differences - Family history of language delays - Whether your child is making progress (even if slower) - Your gut feeling as a parent The reality: If your son is significantly behind milestones, his gender isn't the explanation - and early intervention helps regardless of whether he's a boy or girl. Have you heard this myth? Did it affect whether you sought support for your child? 👇 Inside the Premium Classroom, I break down and show you what actually DOES support language development in real, everyday moments.

Unrelated to speech but we’re traveling without our toddler this week and wondering if anyone else has done this? We did once before but I’m so nervous all over again! And related to speech, I can’t decide whether to talk about it with my toddler to prepare him or not!
