Now that you have a toddler, it’s all go, go, go. They’re running instead of crawling and talking faster than they’re running. How do you support them? Keep singing, loud and proud!
Singing songs together is a great way to help children build their language skills. Sing to and with your little one whenever and wherever you like – preparing breakfast, getting dressed, on the swing, in the bath.
Babies start learning as soon as they’re born. Everything they see, touch, feel and hear helps their little brains to grow.
As a parent or caregiver, you are your baby’s first teacher. Your baby is constantly learning from you, every time they’re with you. Babies learn from watching and interacting with the people in their world, from caregivers to siblings and grandparents. Whatever you do with your baby, you will be teaching them something new.
We have flyers that you can download with helpful tips and activities to do at home for babies 0 - 6 months, 6 - 12 months, 13- 18 months.
