First Words | Parents discuss speech development from babies to pre-school

Don't wake the baby!

Learning to talk and sharing our experience with our chatting little human. This is the one where Emma (professional linguist) and Elliot chat about chatting... Encouraging first words, mimicking, tips for speech development, nursery rhymes, reading, funny stories, clips of Lilly talking, challenges when your toddler can understand words, speech milestones, jokes and regrets, plus our school education focusing on phonics when learning a language.

Unwind on sleepless nights to a wholesome mix of parenting stories, quirky humour, and cosy crafting. We’re not here to provide answers but to share our experiences, explore how parenting has changed, and build an online community of parents for mutual support.
A fun, honest and unscripted conversation between Emma and Elliot on non-judgemental parenting and millennial-based topics, as we relax on an evening attempting an artistic or creative activity.
We are a project in partnership with The Kairos Movement and supported by The Methodist Church, of which The Kairos Movement is a part
