Description

Have you ever stood in the toy aisle feeling totally overwhelmed—wondering which toys will actually help your child learn and which are just loud, flashy, and labeled “educational” for marketing? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to choose toys that truly support your child’s speech and language development—without needing batteries, screens, or expensive “learning” labels. You’ll learn:

• What really makes a toy great for language growth
• Why simple, open-ended toys often work better than electronic ones
• How to spot toys that encourage talking, interaction, and imagination
• What to skip (even if the box says “educational”)
• How to choose toys for birthdays, holidays, and everyday play with confidence

Whether your child is just starting to talk, is a late talker, or you simply want to make sure you’re supporting their development the best way possible—this episode will give you clear, practical guidance you can use immediately.

And if you’ve ever wondered, “Am I buying the right toys?”—this episode is for you.

🎧 Tune in and let’s make toy choices feel simple again.
