Long before the first words arrive, your child is already finding ways to connect, share and be understood. ❤️

From little sounds and gestures to words, sentences and conversations, every part of their communication journey matters.

But did you know speech and language are not the same thing?

Understanding the difference between speech, language and communication can help you tune into what your child is trying to tell you — even before the words come — and recognise when they might need a little extra support.

If you’ve ever wondered Should my child be saying more by now? or felt unsure about their communication development, this article is for you. 💛

Term 1 school holidays are here…

And so is the familiar pressure:
