From a pedi PT/momma

I love listening to the huge variety of information on this channel. Some of the info feeds my PT mind, and some of the information feeds my momma mind. It’s a good combination of both!

Not toddler focused, which is okay but deceiving

Given the name, it’s deceiving that this is not specifically a toddler podcast. It would be nice to have the same topics covered across the different age groups.

Great info for parents!

Mary and Allison do an incredible job of sharing helpful tips and information about a range of common and relevant topics around child development. As hosts, Mary and Allison are relatable and fun, and the episodes are easy to listen to, especially since they aren’t too long or too academic. Im a stay at home parent, and I love that with Tot Talk I can easily find the topics that are relevant to me and my child. While hour-plus-long podcasts can be hard to keep up with, I can always find time in the day to squeeze in Tot Talk. Every episode I’ve listened to has left me with at least 2 ideas that I’m excited to implement the following day. I highly recommend this podcast!!
