Oh Crap Parenting with Jamie Glowacki Jamie Glowacki

Hey, hey, you guys! This episode originally aired on Patreon March 4, 2021 but I wanted to reshare it her because I get questions on kiddos and speech all of the time.I’m so excited to have a special guest with us today who is going to address many of the questions you have been submitting about your kids and their speech development. Marci Melzer, M.Ed./SLP, is an intuitive speech-language pathologist with 30 years of experience helping people to develop the ability to use spoken language functionally. She is the founder of the online platform ‘Waves of Communication’, the author of If it isn't FUN it ISN'T fun: Teach Your Child to Talk Faster Than Speech Therapy, and the host of her own YoutTube channel. Through each of these initiatives, Marci helps families to facilitate language themselves faster, easier, and with a lot more fun than speech therapy, and she shares a wealth of information and advice with us all here today.She begins by explaining her role and work, and then we delve deeply into the world of kids and language. In essence, we look at the development of speech in children, the signs that your child may need help with that development, and some strategies to employ should the need arise. Along the way we also discuss such topics as learning multiple languages, the use of sign language, and how to implement strategies during times such as the current pandemic. What Marcia and I want to make crystal clear is that there is no guilt to be assigned here. There are certain aspects in life that can block the development of speech and stop its evolution, and today we explore some ways to help you address them. I can tell you, we could have gone on for hours talking about this subject, and if you want to learn even more, don’t forget to check out Marci’s 370 free step-by-step strategy videos on YouTube!

We're diving into the intricate world of sibling dynamics. From observing the natural pecking order among siblings to navigating conflicts and fostering healthy relationships, I explore the complexities parents face in nurturing sibling bonds.
