💬❤️ Is your child talking, communicating and understanding as you’d expect?

Every child develops at their own pace — but knowing what speech and language skills typically emerge at different ages can help you feel more confident about your child’s development and recognise when they may benefit from some extra support.

From first gestures and words to putting simple sentences together and becoming easier for others to understand, discover the key milestones to look for at 12 months, 18 months, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years.

You’ll also learn the signs that may indicate a speech or language delay, when it’s important to seek professional advice, and simple, everyday ways you can nurture your child’s communication skills at home. 🗣️📚

Because when it comes to your child’s development, you don’t have to wait and wonder. Understanding what to look for — and knowing when to seek support — can make a real difference, with early intervention helping children get the support they need as soon as possible. ❤️

👶 Is your baby “behind”… or are we putting too much pressure on the milestones?

If you’ve ever looked at a milestone chart and wondered, “Should my child be doing this by now?” — you’re not alone. ❤️

In a world of parenting comparisons, milestone checklists and endless advice, it’s easy to focus on what your child hasn’t done yet instead of noticing how far they’ve already come.

🌿 But what if the little things matter more than we realise?

The reaching. The grasping. The babbling. The exploring. The tiny moments of progress that happen quietly between the big milestones.

These “inchstones” can reveal so much about a child’s development — and may help parents see progress in a completely different way.

In this insightful article, Dr. Maral Amani, paediatric physical therapist and Child Development Expert, explains what milestones really mean, why comparing children can create unnecessary stress, and why play, connection and celebrating the small steps may be one of the most valuable things parents can do.

💚 Because your child doesn’t need to race to the next milestone. They need the space to grow, explore and develop in their own time.
