Walky Talky Baby

Did you know we offer adult psychology sessions too? 🤍

At Walky Talky Hub, our Clinical Psychologist Lydia supports adults with anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, parenting challenges, neurodiversity, self-esteem and life transitions.

As parents, we spend so much time caring for everyone else…but you can’t pour from an empty cup. Supporting your own mental health helps you feel more supported, regulated and better able to support your family too.

If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for support, this is your reminder that you matter too ✨

🚸 Is your child limping after sport or complaining of heel pain?

It might be Sever’s Disease – a common growth-related cause of heel pain in active kids aged 8 to 14.

This condition happens when the soft growth plate in the heel becomes irritated by repeated pulling from the Achilles tendon (hello, footy training and dance rehearsals!).

The good news? It often settles with time, and there’s lots we can do to manage pain and keep your child moving – from calf stretches to shoe advice and load management.

💬 Our physios can help tailor a plan for your child – no need to drop sport completely!

📧 Reach out to us at [email protected] if you’re noticing signs of Sever’s.

Round and round the Walky Talky Hub gym….

Our Movement and Music Class kids were in for a treat last week with this epic obstacle course set up for the class!

There was lots of balancing, stomping, jumping and of course, dancing!

Physio, Alison, helped the kids move their bodies, whilst Music Teacher, Amy, sang and played her ukelele 🎶

We love seeing the kids’ smiling faces every week and see them grow in confidence.

Language learning… but make it banana bread 🍌

You don’t need structured “talking activities” or extra resources to support your child’s communication.

Everyday routines, like baking, cooking, dressing, or playing are full of rich language opportunities.

When I’m baking with my toddler, I focus on:
✔️ simple, functional words (mix, pour, more)
✔️ short phrases linked to actions we are doing
✔️ lots of repetition in natural moments

No pressure for your little one to repeat. Just hearing language in context is so powerful.

Now that my toddler is talking, I love hearing her say the words I’ve modelled over and over again whilst we’ve baked together over the last year 💕

If you need help with your child’s language skills, come see one of our Speech Pathologists at Walky Talky Hub. We’d love to help!

If you’ve ever wondered…
“Am I doing enough to support my baby’s development?” You’re not alone 🤍

Baby playgroups aren’t about doing more - they’re about showing you how much learning is already happening through simple, everyday play.

At Walky Talky Hub, our baby playgroup is run by an experienced physiotherapist who gently guides you on how to support your baby’s gross motor development without it ever feeling overwhelming or like a chore.

Each session is tailored to your baby — whether they’re working on tummy time, rolling, sitting or crawling — and you’ll walk away with practical ideas you can actually use at home.

Plus, you get something just as important:
✨ connection with other parents
✨ a chance to ask questions
✨ a reason to get out of the house

Our group is designed for babies who are not yet walking. If your little one is already on the move, our toddler playgroup may be a better fit 💛

Not based in Perth? We also share this kind of support inside our online Baby Membership 🤍

We don’t have a magic wand 🪄

As much as we’d love to “fix” things in a 45-minute session… real, lasting change doesn’t happen that way.

It happens in the everyday moments—
during play, at mealtimes, in the car, at bath time.

That’s why research shows that when parents use strategies with their child, it can be up to 3x more effective than when the same strategies are only used in therapy sessions (Dunst, 2007).

Because you’re the one there for all those little moments that add up to big progress 💛

At Walky Talky Hub, our role is to guide, support and coach you—so you feel confident using simple, practical strategies at home.

Because therapy isn’t just about what we do.
It’s about what you can do every day.

If you’d like support to help your child thrive, we’d love to help.

“My child says p**n instead of sp**n…” 🥄

This is actually really common!
Young children often simplify words that have two consonants together—this is called cluster reduction.

You might hear things like:
⭐ star → tar
🐸 frog → fog

Clusters can be tricky because they require two sounds in a row, so it’s a normal part of early speech development.

Most children grow out of this pattern by around 4 years old. If your child is still dropping sounds in clusters after this age, a little extra support can make a big difference 💬

✨ We currently have immediate availability for speech therapy, with additional days just opened up.
