Ever feel triggered or overwhelmed trying to understand your toddler’s needs? You’re not alone.
Communication in the early years is hard—for them and for us, especially when trauma makes it harder to stay calm.
In this episode, I sit down with Jessie, a pediatric speech therapist and mom of two, to talk about how to support your little one’s language development without losing your cool.
You’ll learn:
How baby sign language can ease the frustration
Why wait time is a powerful (and underused) tool
Simple ways to model speech and encourage connection
What realistic communication milestones actually look like
Bonus: These strategies don’t just help your child—they help you heal through calm, connected parenting moments.
