The opposites song. Words they can feel.

A two-minute song you can do at any diaper change. Here's why it works.

  1. Say it three times."Big, big, big." Repetition is how a word goes from sound to meaning.
  2. Show it with their body.Arms wide for big, a tiny squeeze for small. They feel the word as they hear it.
  3. Pair it with its opposite.Big makes more sense next to small. Contrast is how babies sort the world.

The course is full of moments like this, for every stage from birth to 3. See what's inside →

01Why parents matter most

Their best speech teacher? You.

Therapists, teachers and grandparents will all help. But no one hears more of your child's first words, or shapes them more, than you do.

How much of a child's speech is learned from their parents?

0 in 10

parents say they don't know what to do to make sure their little one meets their milestones.

What Hannah hears from parents, week after week.

You Google milestones at 2am. You compare your toddler to the one at daycare. You hear "every child is different" and "just wait and see" — even when your gut says otherwise.

Hope isn't a strategy. The good news: the things that help most are small, free and fit into the day you already have. You just need someone to show you which ones matter, and when.

    A guide based on published milestone research, not a diagnosis. If you're worried, talk to your pediatrician or a speech therapist.

    04Autism concerns

    Late talker, or something more?

    Late talking on its own isn't a sign of autism. What tells you more is how your child connects with you. Pick your child's age, then tick anything that sounds like them.

    Often a late talker

    Worth asking about autism

    A guide to help you notice, not a screening or a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can assess for autism.

    07Meet your teacher

    Hi, I'm Hannah. Speech therapist, and mom.

    I'm a pediatric speech and language therapist who specialises in early intervention. For more than nine years I've coached hundreds of families — and the question I'm asked most isn't about therapy. It's "what should I be doing at home?"

    When my first two were born a month early, I used everything I knew. Daisy was speaking in short sentences by 15 months. Now a mom of three, Speech Mom is all of it, written down and filmed — the same techniques I use in private sessions, made simple enough for any tired parent.

    Speech Mom doesn't replace therapy. It makes the rest of the week count.

    1 hour of therapy a week. 167 hours with you.

    TherapyWith you

    Therapy is valuable, but most of your child's learning happens in the rest of the week. Speech Mom shows you what to do with those hours.

    Late talker The lesson where they showed how to read books the right way was a light-bulb moment for me. Charlie's vocab exploded after.

    Feeling unprepared I watched the videos over a weekend and feel so much better prepared to help Flo now.

    Tantrums Max has been having less tantrums now that he can tell us what he needs. That's changed everything for us.

    In therapy My son has been in speech therapy for six months, but I always felt lost in between sessions… This gave me clear, simple things I could do at home every day.
    JJuliaParent, in therapy
    On a waitlist We were stuck on a six-month waitlist and I felt helpless. Finding this was a lifesaver. I had tools to start right away… I could see my daughter's confidence growing week by week.
    MMargaretParent, on a waitlist
    Worried about milestones When I saw kids the same age using words my daughter wasn't, I panicked. This program helped me understand what was normal… It gave me peace of mind and real progress.

    12A note from Hannah

    One day, you'll hear them chatting away.

    You won't remember the exact day it happened. It'll be built from small moments, repeated: a pause at bath time, a song in the car, a book read the right way.

    “You can't make your child talk. But you can teach them to talk.”

    Speech Mom is everything I know about how, from nine years with hundreds of families and two little ones of my own. So you never have to wonder whether you're doing enough.

    It's not what you play. It's how you play.

    See you inside.
