Caitlan has written a follow-up article that you’ll want to read including great information about what can all parents do to support Healthy Language Development, when to seek out a referral to a speech-language pathologist, and much more.
Here’s a quote :
“Be present, not perfect. A friend once told me (while I was being distracted by my phone and social media at a restaurant), “Being present these days is 95% putting down your phone”. These words have really stuck with me! Technology is around us all day, distracting us, and luring our focus away from quality face-to-face conversation interactions. Frequent, quality parent-child interactions are critical to developing good communicators that are ready to learn at school. Step Away From The Screen 🙂 and help children connect with people and learn about the world.“
