Talking ToddlersAuthor: Erin Hyer
Calm, developmentally grounded guidance for moms of babies and toddlers.As a mom of a baby or toddler, it can feel like everyone has an opinion - and very few answers that actually make things clearer. The noise is loud. The pressure is real. And the uncertainty can be exhausting.Talking Toddlers is a podcast for moms who want calm, trustworthy, developmentally grounded guidance - without fear, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.Im Erin Hyer, a licensed speech-language pathologist with nearly 35 years of experience supporting young children and their families. Ive spent my career on the floor with toddlers, partnering with parents, consulting with early educators, and training graduate students to understand how children truly grow, learn, and communicate - through relationships, everyday routines, and meaningful language experiences.This podcast breaks down how the young brain learns, why certain behaviors or challenges show up, and how parents can gently support development before small concerns become bigger ones. I believe parents are in a powerful position not to do more, but to understand more.Each episode offers:Practical, real-life strategies you can use during everyday routinesGentle explanations of the why behind toddler behavior and developmentSupportive conversations that help you feel less alone and more confidentMy goal is simple: to help moms feel empowered and toddlers feel supported - so learning, communication, and connection can grow naturally at home.New episodes of Talking Toddlers are released weekly. This is a space for clarity, connection, and courage - where moms come to slow down, trust themselves, and support their childs development with confidence.

You Already Do the Most Important Thing — You Just Don't Know Why Ep 162
Episode 162
Tuesday, 21 July, 2026
You've been narrating everything. Labeling. Reading. Filling the room with language. And nothing seems to be sticking.That's because your words only land when your child's attention and yours are on the same thing, in the same moment. It's called shared attention — and you're already doing it without knowing how much it matters.In this episode I unpack what shared attention actually looks like between 12 and 24 months, the difference between a request and a shared moment, the connection to autism screening, and the one shift that makes your words actually land. Plus the discipline of the wait — counting to five so your child's brain has room to respond.One skill. One shift. Two minutes a day.Helpful links:▶ Watch Talking Toddlers on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@HyerLearning📘 Download Erin’s free guide:https://hyerlearning.myflodesk.com/skillsfortalking💬 Learn about parent coaching or schedule a Clarity Call:CLICK HERE TO CONNECT🌿 Visit Hyer Learning:www.HyerLearning.comEducational and coaching information only.
