When it comes to language acquisition, all parents have questions...and?this invaluable resource?has all the answers.

When should I expect my baby's first word? Is my toddler on his way to talking soon? Is my child speaking as clearly as her peers? All parents end up thinking questions like these during their children's formative years, but too few act on them, assuming the answers are too unpredictable to be certain. Time to Talk answers these questions for the curious parent.

Written by an experienced speech-language pathologist and mom, this practical and proactive guide will help parents:

  • Understand the building blocks of speech and language
  • Monitor progress against expected milestones
  • Enhance their child's communication skills
  • Spot signs of potential problems with hearing, speech, or language development
  • Address common concerns, such as articulation, late talking, stuttering, dyslexia, etc.
  • Foster literacy
  • Raise bilingual children successfully
  • Your child's language acquisition no longer must be a guessing game for you. From baby's first babbling to reading readiness, Time to Talk provides everything a parent needs so this vital fundamental skill doesn't have to be left to chance.
