I know there's sometimes debate about baby talk to babies. This recent piece provides some insights. They love it!consumer.healthday.com/b-3-24-whatever-the-language-babies-love-baby-talk-2651172003.html ... See MoreSee Less

Whatever the Language, Babies LOVE Baby Talk

consumer.healthday.com

THURSDAY, March 25, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- There's a reason you may choose to talk in singsong tones and with exaggerated sounds when you're talking to babies -- they're more likely to listen. New research shows that babies pay more attention to baby talk than to regular speech. The finding held i...

Testimonials

Thanks for a brilliant keynote. You reminded us that we need more compassion, curiosity and teddy bear moments in Education.
Secondary TeacherMotherwell, May 2016
We recently purchased your DVDs to carry out some training with the staff. They are brilliant, and the feedback from staff is so positive. We want to help the cause by sharing these messages with parents.
Nursery Staff Member, Dundee, March 2016
Thanks for being part of our event launching our Pre-Parenting Resources last week.  You were brilliant as always and helped our event finish on a hopeful high.  I am adding your idea of ‘Finding the joy’ to my list of mantras!
WAVE Trust, Edinburgh, May 2016
I have a greater understanding of how events in my own childhood may have affected me in my adulthood — even though that wasn’t what I thought I would gain!
Training with Safe & Sound Project, Dundee, October 2015
What will I do with this information?  I think I will be less judgemental of people’s behaviour — know that something got them to that point, possibly dis-attachment.
Early Years Staff, Glasgow, May 2016
There is insufficient knowledge of connection taught to students.  Understanding of brain development should be city and nation-wide.  Disconnection really does influence children’s brain development.
Childcare Student, Glasgow, May 2016
Super event!  Thank you so much!  A really valuable and interesting talk on why we need more laughter — not just in schools but in all our lives!
Primary TeacherDundee, May 2016
It was so great to be at the course you took in Edinburgh. I was so inspired.
Nursery TeacherEdinburgh, April 2016
I wanted you to know I tried your suggestion for when I have to be away from my little girl.  We now give her one of my jumpers to cuddle.  Both she and her daddy are now enjoying the bedtime story routine.
Health VisitorDundee
I can now say to others with confidence that children can improve even if you are starting after 3 years.
TeacherGlasgow, January 2014
This was amazing.  I hope we can change the way society sees relationships.
Special Needs Support StaffGlasgow, January 2014
Your Masterclass left me feeling so enlightened. Many people don’t have a real understanding of how important a stable emotional attachment is.
Foster CarerDundee, April 2016
I have a better appreciation of  just how much happens in such a short time — in just a few minutes during drop off, a child can experience so many emotions.
Nursery Manager, Stirling, May 2016
Often during a training event, I have a little argument with my eyelids.  But you had me wide awake throughout the session I attended with you!
Foster CarerApril, 2016
The Masterclass has left me aiming to model more compassion so that all practitioners can interact more positively with distressed children. Thank you so much!
Childcare StaffGlasgow, March 2016
Thank you for the knowledge you have shared.  This will help me in my role as a support worker for Enable Scotland.
Sense Scotland TrainingGlasgow, Scotland, January 2014
Thank you so much to yourself and Howard League Scotland for giving us such a wonderful insight into babies, prisoners, ourselves and sabre tooth tigers!  By making your message accessible to so many people you are bringing hope.
Prison OfficerDundee, September 2013
Myself and several speech therapy colleagues attended your fantastic talk on tantrums and prisons.  We think the idea of sabre tooth tigers and teddy bears really works!
Howard League LectureDundee, September 2013
It was a real pleasure to have you with us for the launch. Your speech was just perfect.  And attendees mentioned your presentation in their feedback forms with words such as “inspirational”, “uplifting” and “fabulous”. Thanks.
Launch of national PREP ProgrammeEdinburgh, May 2016
I leave your Masterclass very aware of the value of the time I give my children — and keen to encourage parents to engage actively when dropping off their children with me.
Childminder, Stirling, May 2016
I have learned that I MATTER — even though I’m only paid on a living wage!
Early Years Staff, Glasgow, May 2016
I have realised how important my interactions are with the children in my care.
Early Years Staff, Glasgow, May 2016
I leave feeling really inspired to make a difference.
Early Years Staff, Glasgow, May 2016
I wanted to write to let you know how I’ve been using your film ‘dance of the nappy’ in my NCT Classes.  Its helpful in informing parents about the importance of smiling whilst changing nappies. Quite a lot of parents in my area now think differently about what their face says!
NCT TeacherWarwick, April 2016
I would have loved a 2 – 3 day course in attachment.  I could learn so much more from the speaker.
Support StaffEdinburgh, November 2014
Much has changed in our nursery since that first training with you in 2013.  Our practice is now led by attachment theory, the Leuven Scale and the mosaic approach.  Our children are benefitting and so happy.
Angels & Co Nursery, Aberdeen, May 2016
I leave feeling a bit overwhelmed.  This has been an eye opener.
Early Years Staff, Glasgow, May 2016
Your training on communication was one of the best events for years! Thank you!
Special Needs TeacherGlasgow, January 2014
As you suggested in your training, our school held a showing of the film ‘Inside Out’ on Friday, for all our Nursery, Kindergarten and Prep 1 pupils.  Over 150 children exploring emotional literacy.  It was a great morning!
