YOUR CHILD + YOU = TWO TO TALK
Do you have a child aged 0-5 years? Are you worried that he isn’t talking as much as his siblings did when they were his age? Perhaps she doesn’t say as much as her friends at kinder? You may want to consider the evidence-based Hanen® program, ‘It Takes Two to Talk’.
Designed for parents of young children with a language delay, it focuses on the importance of your involvement in your child’s language therapy and the need to seek help as early as possible.
You will be shown how to help develop your child’s language skills in natural, day-to-day life settings. This involves learning simple things to do during everyday activities like meal time, story time and bath time to create fun learning opportunities.
