Supercharge your child's language skills

We’ve launched new campaign to highlight the role that parents and carers can play in early years language development.

Our campaign is called Moments that Matter and its message for parents and carers is simple: By making the most of everyday moments to nurture your child’s growing brain, you’ll help them to get the speech and language skills they need - setting them up for school and beyond.

Best of all, they don’t need to take time, cost money, or involve lots of planning!

These include activities such as singing, playing games and more. These Moments that Matter are designed to seamlessly fit into parents and carers’ routines, making it easy to create special, meaningful moments wherever you are.

Here are 10 simple ideas that you can begin to weave into your daily routine from today. On the same page, you’ll also find information and advice if you want more help or information about early years language skills. 

The campaign has been launched in partnership with Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.
