Talking with your child from birth helps them develop their brain, learn to read and write, make friends, do well at school and be happy!
Communication is the foundation for just about every other aspect of a child's development. Helping build good speech and language skills is one of the most important things you can do as a parent or practitioner. The DVD and posters inside the pack explain how you can give children a great start in life by helping them grow into good communicators. The trick is to use everyday activities - from changing nappies and family mealtimes to shopping and getting ready for bed - as opportunities for playing and talking together. The DVD contains a fascinating programme presented by Dr Tanya Byron [House of Tiny Tearaways, Little Angels] offering dozens of brilliant ideas. These help you develop your child's speaking and listening skills throughout their preschool years. The Chatter Charts are a series of colourful mini-posters that enable you to check the progress of your child's communication development. For your wall or fridge, they are packed with helpful tips.
