To help you support parents and carers at home with babies and young children.
Look, Sing, Say Play, was developed by the NSPCC
During a child's earliest years, their brain makes 1 million neural connections every single second. Positive, supportive experiences with parents and other adults are important to their brain development. But it’s not about just singing or talking at your baby. Brain-building happens when you and your little one are interacting with each other. It’s about taking a cue from them and reacting to what they’re doing. You could think of it like a game of tennis – going back and forth between the two of you.
