If your toddler is constantly climbing, dumping, crawling, pulling things out of cabinets, or wandering from one “project” to another… this episode will make everything click.

Between 12 and 18 months, the brain is wiring the foundations for attention, curiosity, emotional regulation, and — yes — first words. And it all happens through play.
Not apps.
Not fancy toys.
Not early lessons.
Movement. Repetition. Real-life exploration.

In this episode, Erin Hyer, SLP and toddler specialist for 35+ years, breaks down:

• Why play is the real work
• How modern life gets in the way
• The four “play jobs” toddlers must practice
• What progress vs plateau vs regression really looks like
• How LESS toys = MORE brain development
• The simple daily rhythm that builds confidence, attention, and communication

You’ll walk away knowing exactly what your toddler needs — and why you’re already doing more good than you realize.

Something special is coming in early December… stay tuned.
