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!

    Has gentle parenting gone too far?

    Many well-meaning moms are finding themselves burned out, confused, and constantly negotiating with toddlers who seem to need more structure—not less.

    In this episode, Erin Hyer, speech-language pathologist and toddler development specialist, breaks down what toddlers actually need—and why a firmer, more faithful approach is gaining traction among modern parents. (Yippeeee)

    Drawing from the viral Wall Street Journal article “Goodbye Gentle Parenting, Hello F-Around and Find Out,” Erin offers a grounded, faith-anchored response to today’s parenting confusion.

    You’ll learn:

    ✅ Why toddlers don’t really understand “no” the way we think

    ✅ The difference between gentle guidance and permissiveness

    ✅ Why natural consequences build character better than explanations

    ✅ How to raise confident, connected kids—with loving limits

    ---------------------------------

    🎙️ Listen to Erin’s 2-part February series on Gentle Parenting for more insight!

    Ep 97 Gentle Parenting vs Reality: What Actually Works For Toddlers

    Ep 98 Why Milestones Matter More Than 'Gentle' Parenting

  • What Your Toddler Needs to Express Themselves Clearly (Part 2) Ep 114

    What Your Toddler Needs to Express Themselves Clearly (Part 2) Ep 114
    2025/07/29

    Send us a text

    Explore how speech develops after the first words — and what to do if your toddler can’t express themselves clearly.

    Erin explains how to recognize delays in expression and speech sounds and gives practical, empowering strategies to support your child at home.

    🎙 Part 2 of 2 in the “Building Blocks” Mini-Series

    In Part 1, we covered the first two foundational 'pillars' of speech development:
    1️⃣ Social Interaction – how connection fuels communication


    2️⃣ Understanding Language – why comprehension must come before expression

    Today in Part 2, we’re diving into:
    3️⃣ Expressive Language Skills – why pointing, babbling, and even grunting matter


    4️⃣ Speech Sound Development – what to expect, when to worry, and how to help

    You’ll learn:

    • What real expressive progress looks like (and the red flags to know)
    • Why gestures are often the secret sauce to early talking
    • How to build clarity and confidence in your toddler’s speech — at home
    • When “he has his own language” is more than just a cute phase

    This episode will equip you with practical tips, developmental insight, and encouragement to support your toddler right where they are — even if words aren’t flowing yet.

    If you're a mom, dad, or caregiver wondering “Should my child be talking more?” — this is the conversation you need.

    👉 Tune in now — and don’t forget to share with a friend who’s walking the same parenting path.
