One thing that I often see moms do is have a home therapy session. The intention is great and I much prefer working with families who are willing to do everything they can to help.

However, "everything" might be too much. Spending an hour at home working on speech goals with your child is a great idea in theory, but not often in ex*****on.

For some reason, kids often rebel and resist "structured work" with their parents. I know from attempting to do math homework with my own kids. It often ends with a frustrated parent and child.

I'd rather moms reinforce what they want to see in their kids speech in little increments throughout the day, even if only 5 minutes at a time rather than an hour long "sit down " of work.

So, model what you want to see and reinforce your child's attempts at improvement throught the day. You'll both be a lot happier!

Put down the flashcards. Honestly.

I know you want to help your child find their words. I see parents buying the kits and the cards, hoping this time they’ll stick. But here’s a secret from 25 years in speech therapy: your kitchen table is a better classroom than any deck of cards.

Why? Because flashcards are a "test." Snack time is a "connection."

Think about the Snack Time Hack:

1. Choice-making: Hold up two options. "Apple or cracker?" You’re giving them a real-world reason to communicate.

2. Natural repetition: You don't have to force it. "More?" "Open?" "Yum!" It happens naturally.

3. Zero pressure: It’s just food. There’s no right or wrong answer, just a shared moment between you and your child.

Routine is more powerful than intensity. It’s not about an hour of "work": it’s about these tiny, functional windows throughout your day. There's nothing wrong with flashcards and I do use them. However, natural interaction trumps "set up" circumstances everytime!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the "exercises," take a breath. Start at the table.
