The Talking Toddler Coach - Trailer

Heather Randolph
About this episode

Are you a worried mom of an incredible kiddo who is not talking as much as you think he or she should?  Or maybe you’re frustrated because you're on a waitlist for your little one to have a speech evaluation?  Have you tried everything you know to do - ideas from family, friends, online, countless internet searches - and just haven’t seen much progress? Do you wish you had a place to go to for support and helpful tips?  Where someone can come alongside you and help you feel confident about increasing your child’s communication?  This is the place.

 

Hi, I’m Heather Randolph, a pediatric speech language pathologist and I created this podcast for you.  My passion is to empower mamas - just like you - to help their children talk or talk more.  You are in the right place and I am beyond thrilled that you’re here.  Welcome!

 

While this podcast does not provide speech therapy, it will provide you with the information for realistic expectations, practical tips and tricks, action steps, how to be consistent with using what you learn here in your daily mama life, some simple mindset shifts, and learning if/when to seek more help.  With an honest, encouraging, non-judgmental approach, this podcast will help you go from uncertain to calm; from helpless to hopeful, and from confused to confident.  

 

Listen in while commuting for work or running errands.  Or if you’re at home and have a rare few moments to yourself, grab your coffee or a quiet corner.  Let’s go.
