In our 115th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with paediatric speech pathologist, Jamie. Jamie answers all your speech and language development questions:
What is speech? What is language? And how do these differ?
What are some of the reasons that our children may have difficulties with speech sounds? 
Do tongue ties really influence speech?
How do dummies and thumb sucking affect 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?
What’s the go with lisps?
And MUCH MORE!!!

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
