- Do tongue ties really influence speech?

- What about sippy cups? Are they a yay or a nay?
- 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?
