About
Hello! Welcome to TinyTalk Hitchin & Letchworth. My name is Emma, and I’m your local TinyTalk teacher and mum to Ivy and Jack.
I took Ivy to her first TinyTalk class when she was 3 months old. Straight away, I could see how she enjoyed the music, the sensory elements, and of course, all the toys!
I didn’t think the signing element of the class would come into play until she was a bit older, but after a few weeks, I started to notice her reaction whenever I used a sign she liked. When she was a little fussy, I used the sign for ‘milk,’ and her face lit up – that was exactly what she wanted!
Now that she’s a bit older, more signs are starting to come through. Her favourite sign at the moment is ‘cat.’ Jack is taking his role as big brother very seriously, making sure he learns the signs that are important to her too. Our family uses lots of signs around mealtimes; no need to get hangry here!
I’ve always been fascinated by babies experiencing the world for the very first time. Communication is so important to their development, and it’s a privilege to watch. All those little movements, the way they look at you, and their babbling – it’s all signs that they want to talk to you!
By using signs, you can understand what your child wants, feels, or needs before they’ve learnt how to speak. It’s a window into their mind, and I’m so excited to help you share it with your baby.
I look forward to seeing you in class!
