You are not overreacting, and you do not have to just wait. Ten minutes a day of gentle practice you can start tonight, using the same techniques speech therapists use: slow modeling, real pauses, and lots of celebration.
Get the Free Milestone Checklist How it worksThree questions, no email needed, and an answer you can use tonight.
This is a starting point for practice, not a diagnosis. If you are worried about your child's speech, please talk to your pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist. Asking early is never overreacting.
No appointments. No pressure. Just a simple daily rhythm you can start the same night you sign up.
Answer a 2-minute check-in about what your child says today. No diagnosis, no scoring, just a starting point.
We match your child to one of four practice stages, from very first words to full sentences, including a gentler Late Talker track.
One short video, two tap-along activities, and one off-screen game to play at snack time or bath time. Ten minutes, done.
Every child moves at their own pace. The plan meets your child exactly where they are.
Sounds, imitation games, and the first 50 words: mama, ball, more, up.
Two-word combos and asking for things: more milk, big truck, go car.
Sentences, clearer sounds, and telling you about their day.
Smaller steps, a gentler pace, and extra celebration for every attempt.
Fast-cut cartoons teach toddlers to watch. Our videos teach them to answer. Every word is modeled slowly, with a real pause for your child to try it, and every attempt gets celebrated.
Then the Word Tracker lets you tap each new word your child says, so you can literally watch their vocabulary grow week over week.
Slow, repetitive, and built around a pause so your child gets a turn. Tap any one to watch a piece of it.

No. First Words Daily is daily practice and enrichment, built on techniques that speech-language pathologists commonly use, but it is not therapy, diagnosis, or medical advice. If you are concerned about your child's speech, please talk to your pediatrician or a licensed speech-language pathologist. We will always tell you that.
If you have concerns, yes. Many families use First Words Daily while they wait for an evaluation, between sessions, or as daily practice alongside professional care. It works with therapy, never instead of it.
Passive, fast-cut video is linked to less language practice. That is exactly why our videos are slow, repetitive, and interactive, and why every Daily 10 includes an off-screen game. Best of all, watch together and pause often.
Roughly 12 months to 5 years, across four stages. The milestone check-in points you to the right starting place.
We collect a parent's email address and nothing about your child. No ads, no trackers, no selling data, ever. See our privacy policy.
