Talking Toddlers
As a new mom, don’t you wish you had someone whispering in your ear with practical and trustworthy guidance? Finding clarity can be challenging these days, and the uncertainty seems almost deafening. Talking Toddlers breaks down how our children grow, learn & develop - by building relationships, human connections, and learning through language. I’m Erin Hyer, a licensed speech-language pathologist - and for nearly 35 years I’ve played with kids on the floor, inspired parents to use everyday routines for learning, consulted with early educators, and trained graduate students to move beyond the classroom and “think outside the box.” My purpose is clear - understand how the brain learns to learn, bridge any gaps before they turn into life-long challenges, and keep kids moving forward. I don’t believe in “taking anything for granted” or “leaving it to chance.” Nor do I subscribe to accepting the increasing “new normal.” Parents are in a very special position to create a language-rich home environment & truly guide kids to thrive, to learn through everyday activities, while building confidence, flexibility and a true curiosity for learning. Episodes will bring practical ideas, as well as, some deep dives to help you understand why there are roadblocks? I believe we are more likely to implement strategies and activities or make changes if we know the reasoning behind them. My goal - to help moms feel empowered and toddlers happier. Please join me every Tuesday, Talking Toddlers where moms come for clarity, connection and courage. Stay tuned for amazing interviews, discussions & practical guidance on how Talking Toddlers learn to thrive - at home - with their moms!

Our modern day lifestyle can be tricky to navigate, but there are better choices out there. I want to challenge you to step into your own light, ask some hard questions and
** I must preface this episode with, I am not a medical doctor nor nutritionist. If you have questions please contact your family health care provider.
My intent here is for educational purposes, only. To inspire parents to peel back some layers and inquire deeper. Seek medical advice as you see fit.
I'm asking questions that you may also ask.
There are now many well-researched studies that prove beneficial effects of physical activity on:
- brain power
- motivation & concentration
- memory & reasoning
- classroom attitudes & behaviors
- language skills
Evidence show that physically active kids have brain synapses that fire faster and stronger, and are 20% more likely to earn better grades (not that grades are the end goal), but overall academic performance, social skills and self-esteem are!!!
