Hey Friends~
If you’ve ever wondered whether your child’s mouth breathing, poor sleep, unclear speech, or constant frustration could mean something deeper… this episode is for you. Today, I’m talking with Luba Patlakh about tongue ties, therapy, when parents should seek help, and what real support looks like—whether surgery is involved or not. We also talk about practical communication strategies and how families can advocate for the care their children truly need. This conversation is eye-opening, hopeful, and full of practical next steps for parents.
Always cheering you on!
