• Does screen time affect speech?
• Does living in a multilingual household confuse kids speech or improve their speech?
• Is it true that boys are generally slower than girls at starting to talk?
• How can we encourage speaking? Is it better to talk to our kids in baby talk or normally?
• Should we correct our kids when they mispronounce words (even if it’s super cute!)?
• What age should we start putting emphasis on manners?
• What are some causes of language and speech delays?
