In this foundational episode, Heidi and Jordan—speech-language pathologists and founders of Peak to Peak Therapies—explore the key developmental milestones that shape a child’s early years, from birth to age three. With warmth and expertise, they guide listeners through the critical areas of cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth, breaking down what typical development looks like and how to support it.

Topics include feeding milestones (like introducing solids and encouraging self-feeding), sleep patterns, gross and fine motor development, and the progression of speech and language skills. Heidi and Jordan also shine a light on the essential role of play—not just as fun, but as a powerful tool for learning and connection.

This episode is full of practical, evidence-based strategies for parents, caregivers, and early intervention professionals alike. Whether you're navigating tummy time or talking milestones, you'll walk away with tools to support young children through their most formative years—and a deeper appreciation for how development unfolds in those first three years of life.
