Parent guide

Speech & language: signs to watch, by age.

A short, calm guide for parents of children ages 2–8 — what's typical, what's worth asking about, and what you can do at home tonight.

  • What communication usually looks like at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5–8
  • Signs that are worth mentioning to a professional
  • Simple ways to build language into everyday routines
  • Plain-language questions to ask at your child's next check-up

Educational information for parents. It doesn't diagnose anything, and every child develops on their own timeline.
