What is BBC Tiny Happy People?
The BBC Tiny Happy People initiative aims to reduce the ‘word gap’ by supporting parents to help develop their little ones’ vocabulary in the home learning environment.
Based on extensive academic and audience research, Tiny Happy People has a simple message at its heart - ‘talk to your baby as much as possible from birth - we can show you how and why.’
On the website parents will find:
• Activity Content showing parents how to support their children’s language development with hundreds of fun simple activities, all organised by age.
• Child Development Content showing parents why supporting language learning is important. It is all about children’s amazing brains and how they understand the world.
• Tips and Advice from speech and language experts, health care professionals and early years practitioners covering a wide range of parenting topics
