| 6/24/26 |  The Truth About Late Talkers and What Every Parent Needs to Know | Is your child a late talker, and are you wondering whether to wait it out or pay closer attention? In this solo episode, Luba breaks down the real truth about late talkers, the version you won't find on social media. She explains what a late talker actually is, why understanding language is not the same as being able to communicate, and how speech delays ripple out into behavior, confidence, learning, and relationships. You'll hear the surprising connection between language and executive functioning, the red flags worth watching for at 12, 18, 24, and 36 months, and how to tell the difference between a child who needs a small nudge and one who needs real support. Most importantly, Luba reminds you that trusting your instincts is enough. You don't have to earn the right to ask questions about your own child.Connect with Luba on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lubapatlakh/Get a copy of Bobo Wears a Bowtie: bobowearsabowtie.comLuba's website: lubapatlakh.comThe Confident IEP Parent ebook: theconfidentiepparent.comJoin the Parental Pathway: https://www.skool.com/the-parent-pathway/00:00 Welcome to The Growth Lab01:13 The truth about late talkers, the real version 01:50 What a late talker actually is02:24 The biggest myth, "as long as they understand, they're fine"03:43 Why speech delays turn into behavior challenges05:48 The hidden connection to executive functioning07:41 What gets missed most, your child's confidence11:13 Red flags to watch at 12, 18, 24, and 36 months13:06 A true delay versus needing a little nudge14:13 Why early support prevents problems, it doesn't create them | 18m 18s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | How to Raise Kids With a Healthy Relationship to Food With Lea Rifkin | Most of us were raised on "clean your plate," "that's a bad choice," and "you're so lucky you can eat that." Then we grow up and wonder why food feels so loaded. In this episode I sit down with Lea Rifkin, a non-diet registered dietitian and founder of Kindred Nutrition Co., to talk about how early food messaging shapes our kids, and how we can rewrite that story while we heal our own relationship with food.We get honest about the comments that slip out without us realizing it, why labeling food good or bad tends to backfire, and what it actually looks like to guide your child around food without controlling it. Lea shares the difference between always foods and sometimes foods, why sitting down together matters more than any perfect plate, and the signs that it's time to reach out for support instead of waiting it out.If you have a picky eater, a snack grabber, or a little one already picking up messages about their body, this conversation will help you feel steadier at your own table.Want to work with Lea?
