5 Thoughts on Receptive Language for Parents with Late-Talking Toddlers

In just 3 short months, little Rowan is going to be TWO. How did this happen so fast? Seriously. One interesting thing going on with him at this age is how his receptive language is surging, yet he hardly produces real words. So this got me thinking and wondering how many other young toddlers out there are this same way (or if the norm is to just be jabbering already)... Or is it just half and half?

I couldn't find any hard statistics on how many toddlers are slower to produce expressive language, but I do know that it is more common in boys. I also read that 70-80% of late talkers will outgrow a language delay (if they have no delays in comprehension). But then this kind of sent me down a rabbit trail as I wondered, how do you know if you might be in that other 20-30%?

I thought I would share some causes and products that I like from time to time... Even though I'm not getting paid for it (and maybe I should be) but who cares.

First up is this "Education is Freedom" shirt design that gives a tiny percentage of proceeds to First Book.

I think they only donate 7%, but hey, it's better than nothing, and teachers from all over have been asking me about it.
