Based on the Five to Thrive approach, this one-off session will help you discover the importance of speaking to your baby from an early age, and practical ways to help develop their speech and language.

Our Baby Talk workshop will help you to support you and your baby right from the start. The everyday things you do and say to your baby sets them up for life. During this session, we will engage you in an interactive workshop with other parents and babies, where you can chat, ask questions and learn new ways of introducing new words to your baby every day.

The workshop will cover:

• How does your baby communicate?

• The importance of sounds and gestures;

• Developing attention and listening skills;

• The value of practical activities such as songs and messy play.

We will share activities and ideas, using singing, actions, games and rhymes, making it a fun way to learn through play.

N.B. This workshop is open to all parents and carers of babies and children registered with a Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, Health Visiting team.
